How select an item in a Table ? [message #461731]

I want the first element to be selected in a viewer.

I tried:

public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {

fViewer = new TableViewer(parent, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);

....

final Table table = fViewer.getTable();

int selectionCount = table.getSelectionCount();

if(selectionCount==0) {

table.setSelection(0);

}

Nothing happens: any item is selected in my view.

How can I do this?

Nicolas.

fViewer.setSelection(new StructuredSelection(obj));

where obj is the first element in your viewer input.

Where should i put this? if i put it after creating the viewer, there are no
content yet and it fails;

I tried:

public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {

fViewer = new TableViewer(parent, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);

fViewer.setContentProvider(new ViewContentProvider());

fViewer.setLabelProvider(new ViewLabelProvider());

fViewer.setSorter(new ViewerSorter());

addSelectionChangedListener(Repository.getInstance());

ISelection selection = new
StructuredSelection(fViewer.getTable().getItem(0));

fViewer.setSelection(selection, true);

Obviously. If there is no content, there is no way to select an item.

At which point are you calling fViewer.setInput()?

This won't work. It expects the contents of the StructuredSelection to be an
element from your model- not the table item itself.
What is the input for your TableViewer?

GOT IT!

The trick is to do it AFTER setting the setInput (thanks for your "At which
point are you calling fViewer.setInput()?" question)

Here is the working code:

public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {

fViewer = new TableViewer(parent, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);

fViewer.setContentProvider(new ViewContentProvider());

fViewer.setLabelProvider(new ViewLabelProvider());

fViewer.setSorter(new ViewerSorter());

fViewer.setInput(this/*dummy*/);

Object item = fViewer.getElementAt(0);

ISelection selection = new StructuredSelection(item);

fViewer.setSelection(selection, true);

merci +++

Nicolas.
