Hi all,
I've created a table and registered a popup menu for reordering rows. If I do a right click on a row in the table and select "Move up" the row is moved up. If I select "Move down", nothing happens. If I change the row ordering "by hand" (i.e., drag a row to a new position), all things are ok. I think the mistake lies inside my handler, but I cannot get the point...

Here's some code. At first, the MoveEntryUpMenuItem (which works):
        MenuItem moveRowUp = new MenuItem(popupMenu, SWT.PUSH);
        moveRowUp.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {

            /**
             * Move an item up
             */
            @Override
            public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
                NatEventData natEventData = MenuItemProviders.getNatEventData(e);
                // Get the position of the selected element
                NatTable natTable = natEventData.getNatTable();
                int pos = natEventData.getRowPosition();  // count without header row
                // Do not move one single item
                if (natTable.getRowCount() > 2 && pos > 0) {  // the header row has to be added for this calculation!
                    ILayerCommand cmd = new RowReorderCommand(natTable, pos, pos - 1);
                    natTable.doCommand(cmd);
                }
           }
        });


Now the MoveEntryDownMenuItem, which doesn't work:

        moveRowDown.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
        @Override
            public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
                NatEventData natEventData = MenuItemProviders.getNatEventData(e);
                // Get the position of the selected element
                NatTable natTable = natEventData.getNatTable();
                int pos = natEventData.getRowPosition();  // count without header row
                // Do not move one single item
                if (natTable.getRowCount() > 2 && pos < natTable.getRowCount()) {  // the header row has to be added for this calculation!
                    ILayerCommand cmd = new RowReorderCommand(natTable, pos, pos + 1);
                    natTable.doCommand(cmd);
                }
            }
        });


I think it's quite the same code (though I wanted to consolidate it later). Btw., the selection (highlighting) of a whole row is never moved, only the content (if "moved up"). Furthermore, I can't set an accelerator for the menu item (doesn't has any effect).

Any help is appreciated...

TIA,
Ralf.

IIRC on moving down you need to use +2. Seems to be related to RowReorderLayer#moveRowDown where the internal reordering is performed. Actually the handling as it is right now avoids row reordering in case of dragging to the same position, e.g. take row 3 drag it slightly down so the reorder indicator is shown below the current row. Dropping will do nothing, which is correct IMHO.

If you think this is incorrect (and yes it feels incorrect) feel free to open a ticket. And if you could provide a fix that doesn't break the existing use cases it would be perfect.

Regarding the selection, well the selection is bound to the cell coordinate, not the content by default. If the selection should also move you need to use another SelectionModel, either RowSelectionModel or PreserveSelectionModel.

Regarding the accelerator I have no clue and not time to check.

Hi Dirk,
thanks for your reply, this is the solution! I've to add +2. It's ok if one knows it Smile

To the selection: I use the RowSelectionModel, but perhaps at the wrong layer, I'll check this.

The accelerator key isn't urgent, I can omit this.

Regards,
Ralf.
