Conditional CellEditor activation based on EditAction [message #1741425]

Hello,

we would like to be able to choose the celleditor (dialog or inline) based on the EditAction (KeyEditAction, MouseEditAction) that triggers the cell edit mode At the moment we use NatTable 1.3.1.

Example
- if you tab into a cell and the cell is editable and hit "10" the TextCellEditor should be activated initialized with "10"
- if you tab into a cell and hit F2 the DialogCellEditor should be opened

As far is i know the information which action triggers the edit mode is lost as soon as the CellEditor is retrieved from config registry. So i could not find any straight forward solution yet. The only solution i can image at this point is to replace the EventHandler but this seems to be too much

I would appreciate any idea. Thanks in advance.

Hm, I guess I would create and register an alternative IKeyAction that extends KeyEditAction as UI binding for the F2 key press (see DefaultEditBindings).

In that customized KeyEditAction I would first set Boolean value true for the EditConfigAttributes.OPEN_IN_DIALOG. Then call the super implementation of KeyEditAction. And at the end set the value back to false or null.

Not sure if that works, but I would try that.

Hey Dirk,

You definitely hit the mark. Using a custom KeyEditAction implementation and changing the EditConfigAttributes.OPEN_IN_DIALOG attribute value temporarily is the way to go. Thank you very much!
