TreeViewer with only one TreeViewerColumn [message #731675]

Hello,

So I have a TreeViewer and I want to add editing support to it.

I used to use the setCellEditors/setCellModifier methods directly on my TreeViewer instance but I noticed the setEditingSupport was the new, preferred way of doing this (and it seems more handy):

// In my TreeViewer constructor
TreeViewerColumn column = new TreeViewerColumn(this, SWT.NONE);
column.setEditingSupport(new EditingSupport(this));
column.setLabelProvider(new LabelProvider());
column.getColumn().setText("Column 1");
column.getColumn().setWidth(???); // Here's the question

So I have to specify a witdh for the column to be visible. Is there an easy way to have it take the full size of the tree all the time? I heard about adding some listeners and calling pack() on the TreeColumn but I'm not sure how to do that, and I wonder if there's anything handier.

Any idea?

Thanks,

-Jérémy

OK, answering myself as I found the solution:

ViewerColumn column = new ViewerColumn(this, getTree()) {};
column.setLabelProvider(labelProvider);
column.setEditingSupport(new EditingSupport(this));

Basically, using a ViewerColumn instance directly doesn't create a TreeColumn behind, i.e. no need to specify a size or whatever.

Though this works it this is not how we intended to use ViewerColumn, i
think we simply missed ColumnViewer#setEditingSupport(). So please file
a bugzilla to request this API.

Expanding on this:

Still using a simple one-column TreeViewer with no explicit TreeColumn, I would like the whole row's background to be painted when overriding the getBackground() method of my LabelProvider. Is there any easy way to achieve this?
