Hi,
I'm trying to implement a rectangle selection in a Table (just like the one
in the windows file explorer for example, when you drag the mouse with no
items under it), and i was wondering how i could force the table to scroll
horizontally (for when the user drags the mouse out of the client area).
I tried generating an Event (setting all fields to correct values) and
notifying a SelectionEvent to getHorizontalBar(), but that didn't seem to do
anything.
I also tried calling ScrollBar.setSelection(), it moves the scroll bar but
doesn't scroll the table (seems kind of logical though).
I search around, googlized a bit, but didn't find anything about forcing a
composite to scroll.
Since the vertical drag has been performed by using the setTopSelection
method, i'm completely running out of ideas on how i could scroll this
window.
I'd be glad if anyone could give me a clue on how to perform this.

Use Table.showColumn(TableColumn);
If you need more control than that, then maybe consider placing the Table in
a ScrolledComposite and use ScrolledComposite.setOrigin(Point)
