Synchronizing Multiple TableViewers [message #633713]

I have 4 TableViewers on one Composite in an Editor and I need to synchronize all four to scroll when one is scrolled. I was able to make it so
that when I scroll 1 table, the scroll bar of a second will move. However, the table itself does not move. Here is the code:

        final Table right = rightTableViewer.getTable() ;
        final Table left = leftTableViewer.getTable() ;
        
        ((Scrollable) left).getHorizontalBar().addSelectionListener(new
            SelectionAdapter() {
              public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent event) {
                ((Scrollable) right).getHorizontalBar().setSelection(
                  ((Scrollable) left).getHorizontalBar().getSelection());
                netFuelConsumptionTableViewer.refresh() ;
              }
            }
          );

        ((Scrollable) right).getHorizontalBar().addSelectionListener(new
            SelectionAdapter() {
              public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent event) {
                ((Scrollable) left).getHorizontalBar().setSelection(
                  ((Scrollable) right).getHorizontalBar().getSelection());
               netStockTableViewer.refresh() ;
              }
            }
          );

This is only using two of the four tables. Is this incorrect? Is there some other way to make these scroll in unison and have the actual table scroll and not just the scroll bar?

Any pointers will be greatly appreciated!

Tables don't react to programmatic changes to their scrollbars. You need to
use Table API like: right.setTopIndex(left.getTopIndex()).

If you want finer-grained scrolling control than this then you can wrap them
in ScrolledComposites, but this is more work (Tree snippet that shows this:
