CompositeTable and Databinding [message #36744] Sun, 24 June 2007 13:44 Go to next message

Hi All,

I want to use a CompositeTable with JFace Datbinding 3.3. But there are
only dead files in the eclipse cvs
(org.eclipse.jface.examples.databinding/src/org/eclipse/
jface/examples/databinding/compositetable).

Is it possible to use JFace Databinding 3.3 with the CompositeTables?
Will you update the examples?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I think this question is very interesting. I'm looking for JFace
Databinding 3.3 with CompositeTables too.
Can anyone give me an example?

Thanks!

CompositeTable was designed from the beginning to work with DataBinding
and the Eclipse Visual Editor. The original author/maintainer of
CompositeTable (Dave Orme) is a major contributor to both of those
projects.

The code you want is in the
org.eclipse.swt.nebula/org.eclipse.swt.nebula.widgets module.
Unfortunately, it isn't quite in a runnable state. You need to apply
several patches from CVS to get it up and running. Dave's been falling
behind with keeping CompositeTable up to date for the past few months, but
hopefully he will take care of things soon.

Once you get past the initial setup issues, CompositeTable works quite
nicely with DataBinding in practice. You basically just implement the
IRowContentProvider.refresh() method to lookup your data element by index
and bind the view and model together. This code would be exactly the same
as what you'd use to bind a basic Composite panel to a data model. In
fact, if you already have a panel to display data in a static form, you
should be able to reuse the logic for one row of the CompositeTable. This
makes it very easy to refactor a to-one relationship into a to-many
relationship.
