[DataBinding] set sorter to tableViewer (3.2 version) [message #310898]

Hi! I'm using the 3.2 evolution of the databinding framework in a rcp
client I develop. I'll have to stick to it until 3.3 gets released.
I try to add sorting capabilities to the current binding of tableviewers
and I wonder if I stick to the original intents.
I plan to implement it by subclassing tableViewerDescription to a
SortableTableViewerDescription (and binding would be something like
dbc.bind(sortableTableViewerDescription, tableModelDescription).
Is this the way you would have implemented it?

Hi André.

I don't have the code in front of me right now so I apologize if this
sounds uninformed but it's been a while since I looked at the 3.2 code.
But can you not just set the sorter on the viewer after binding? If
memory serves me right the binding just provided change events to the
viewer and updated the viewer. If the binding is invoking the correct
update and refresh events on the viewer it seems like you could just bind
the viewer and set the sorter on the viewer after the binding has
occurred. I don't think that the binding would care about sorting and it
probably wouldn't care about filtering either. But again, I don't have
the code in front of me at the moment.
