Hello,

i have a nattable with a column having date cell editor. the column is not mandatory so it should support empty value.

if i set null to the cell data by default, the date picker does not set the next selected date value. if i set current date to the variable in data object for the cell, then the date picker works fine, but in this scenario, i cannot clear the selected date.

can anyone help me with how can i have empty values in date cell in nattable.

the javadoc of the DateCellEditor has the following note:

 * Note: This is an example implementation for a Date editor. As the SWT
 * DateTime control has some serious issues like it is not nullable, has issues
 * on setting the focus programmatically and it is not possible to open the
 * dropdown programmatically, we suggest to rather use some Nebula widget or a
 * custom widget for date editing.

It is quite a while that I worked on that area, but IIRC SWT DateTime and null does not work. I therefore created the CDateTimeCellEditor in the Nebula Extension that can deal with this. So I suppose you need to use the CDateTimeCellEditor to support that use case.
