Hello,

I want to detect, when the underlying data of a cell, that is currently edited, was changed or resetted in the data-model.

In this case the editing-mode should be closed. I did not find any hints in the documentation therefore.

Any ideas / hints?

Thanks in advance,

Klaus

IIUC you want to track if the underlying data model is changed from some background task while a cell editor is open. And if that case happens, the editor should close automatically. Is that correct?

There is no real built-in support for that case. You probably need to implement some PropertyChangeListener that you attach to every object of your data model. And that listener triggers the editor close operation. You should be able to access the current active cell editor via the NatTable instance.
