Howto: Edit the text of a tree item (in place, fancy) [message #451929]

Hi,

I am currently using the snippet 111:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet111.java?rev=HEAD& amp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

in order to edit the text of a treeitem in place. But compared to the
"Rename" action
in Eclipse's Navigator (Resource perspective) it behaves a bit differently:

1.) The black-box (edit textfield) has a bigger width in Eclipse's Navigator
2.) The text of the TreeItem that is being edited is not moving to the
left. In the
Snippet I am seeing a movement (~1px) to the left as soon as the
editing begins.

Is Eclipse using a different solution? Maybe someone could point me to
the way Eclipse
is doing it.

Thanks,
Ben

See TreeEditor. That's what the Resource Navigator uses, as well.

(Yes, snippet 111 has a number of problems. The simulated border looks
especially awful on MacOSX, the positions are wrong, etc.)

For me, using the example from the Snippet makes no difference. I am
still seeing the
two problems I mentioned.

Hmm. I guess you'd have to chase down how Resource Navigator adjusts the
position and size of TreeEditor. I only looked far enough to see that it
used TreeEditor (even that wasn't much fun).

The BIRT Data Explorer view has a nice implementation of this.

Hm, what/where is the BIRT Data Explorer?

http://www.eclipse.org/birt

They did the click-wait-click again method of renaming and the F2
method. I haven't looked at the code but it runs in 3.0.1 so it's not
relying on any new 3.1 features.

Ah ok thanks.
But the Navigator in Eclipse is also doing it, somehow different from
the Snippet. Maybe
the snippet could be updated with Eclipse's approach.

Bob, can you enter a bug report for this?

It's https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=89434.

I'll trade you. I've seen lots of people put links in Bugzilla bug
reports, but <a> doesn't work (as 89434 clearly shows). What's the trick?
