Hello,
I've just discovered Parsley and so far loving it ! But I'm sort of hitting a wall, so I'm turning to you for some pointers :
I have a large collection of QR [int id, String raw_text, String edt_text] elements that I need to edit (initially all edt_text are null). I've chosen a SaveableTableFormView, which I've enriched with a filter I provide to the TableViewer (in XXXSaveableTableFormView.createPartControl) that allows me to select either the already edited items or the original ones.
I'm now trying to use the Dialog (which pops when you double-click on an item in the TableView) and expand its capabilities to do some "advanced" editing. Here are the things that I'm trying to achieve and haven't been able to figure out how to do them on my own (or that only work partially) :
- if edt_txt is null, copy raw_text and use a multiline editbox with at least 3 times the height of the standard one
- on OK, save the value of edt_txt
- adding a button that would be able to create a new object (not modelled yet) based on the selection in edt_txt
What I have done is create the following in my .parsley file :
dialogControlFactory {
control {
QR : edt_text -> {createText(it.raw_text)}
}
}
but, if the editbox is correctly initialized, whatever I type inside it's never saved and the field size is adjusted to it's content (instead of using the whole dialog width), and is limited to one line of text.
I'm guessing there are ways to customize this dialog, I just would like to know where to look, not to spend too much time on that...
Thanks
I can do anything and I can do it better than anyone. Be as I am : be the best !

Hi Patrick,
for customizing the layout in order to use a multiline text and to grab vertical and horizontal space, you can do this:
Writer : name -> {
val t = createText(it.name,SWT::MULTI, SWT::BORDER, SWT::WRAP, SWT::V_SCROLL)
t.layoutData = GridDataFactory.fillDefaults.grab(true,true).create
t
}
while for the binding:
edbc.bindValue(SWTObservables.observeText(t, SWT.Modify) ,createFeatureObserveable(EXTLibraryPackage.Literals.WRITER__NAME))
So in the end you may have:
dialogControlFactory {
control {
Writer : name -> {
val t = createText(it.name,SWT::MULTI, SWT::BORDER, SWT::WRAP, SWT::V_SCROLL)
t.layoutData = GridDataFactory.fillDefaults.grab(true,true).create
edbc.bindValue(SWTObservables.observeText(t, SWT.Modify) ,createFeatureObserveable(EXTLibraryPackage.Literals.WRITER__NAME))
t
}
}
}
