1) It is not possible to change the background of a table header. Not that
on many platforms the header is not a solid colour but a gradient or some
rounded effect.
2) Using the ILabelProvider to change the image from checked to unchecked is
a bad idea because it does not support accessibility (screen readers can not
report the state based on the image because the image has no title and also
it does not have any built in keyboard support for changing the state).
Ideally you should use TableTreeItem.setChecked(boolean). This will give
you a fully supported check box in the first column.
3) Multi-line text in a Table/Tree/TableTree is not supported.
4) You can set a solid colour in the background of any row using
TableTreeItem.setBackground(Color). I will add support for setting the
background of any cell using TableTreeItem.setBackground(int, Color) in 3.1.
In response to your question, the image is not covered by the editor.

Hi,
Thanks for replying. :)
However for (2), I need to have a checkbox behaviour for every cell in the
row, except for the first column. That's why I had to use the
CheckBoxCellEditor. And then because this class does not actually return a
Checkbox control in the cell, I had to use the LabelProvider to display
the checkbox image. Do you mean I can use the TableTreeItem.setChecked()
to create a checkbox effect on every other cell in the row?
Thanks.
Regards,
Nicole

Unfortunately SWT Table only supports a checkbox in the first column.
You should implement an IAccessibleControlListener if you are going to
include state information in the image:
final static String STATE = "CheckedIndices";
public static void main (String [] args) {
final Display display = new Display ();
Image checkedImage = getCheckedImage (display);
Image uncheckedImage = getUncheckedImage (display);
Shell shell = new Shell (display);
shell.setLayout (new FillLayout ());
final Table table = new Table (shell, SWT.BORDER);
TableColumn column1 = new TableColumn (table, SWT.NONE);
TableColumn column2 = new TableColumn (table, SWT.NONE);
TableColumn column3 = new TableColumn (table, SWT.NONE);
TableItem item1 = new TableItem (table, SWT.NONE);
item1.setText (new String [] {"first item", "a", "b"});
item1.setImage (1, uncheckedImage);
item1.setImage (2, uncheckedImage);
item1.setData (STATE, null);
TableItem item2 = new TableItem (table, SWT.NONE);
item2.setText (new String [] {"second item", "c", "d"});
item2.setImage (1, uncheckedImage);
item2.setImage (2, checkedImage);
item2.setData (STATE, new int [] {2});
TableItem item3 = new TableItem (table, SWT.NONE);
item3.setText (new String [] {"third", "e", "f"});
item3.setImage (1, checkedImage);
item3.setImage (2, checkedImage);
item3.setData (STATE, new int [] {1, 2});
column1.pack ();
column2.pack ();
column3.pack ();
Accessible accessible = table.getAccessible ();
accessible.addAccessibleControlListener (new
AccessibleControlAdapter () {
public void getState (AccessibleControlEvent e) {
super.getState (e);
if (e.childID >= 0 && e.childID < table.getItemCount
()) {
TableItem item = table.getItem (e.childID);
int [] data = (int []) item.getData (STATE);
if (data != null) {
Point pt = display.getCursorLocation
();
pt = display.map (null, table, pt);
for (int i = 0; i < data.length;
i++) {
if (item.getBounds (data
[i]).contains (pt)) {
e.detail |=
ACC.STATE_CHECKED;
break;
}
}
}
}
}
});
shell.open ();
while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
}
display.dispose ();
}
static Image getCheckedImage (Display display) {
Image image = new Image (display, 16, 16);
GC gc = new GC (image);
gc.setBackground (display.getSystemColor (SWT.COLOR_YELLOW));
gc.fillOval (0, 0, 16, 16);
gc.setForeground (display.getSystemColor (SWT.COLOR_DARK_GREEN));
gc.drawLine (0, 0, 16, 16);
gc.drawLine (16, 0, 0, 16);
gc.dispose ();
return image;
}
static Image getUncheckedImage (Display display) {
Image image = new Image (display, 16, 16);
GC gc = new GC (image);
gc.setBackground (display.getSystemColor (SWT.COLOR_YELLOW));
gc.fillOval (0, 0, 16, 16);
gc.dispose ();
return image;
}
}
