Setting selection in JFace ComboViewer [message #462552] Thu, 13 October 2005 14:40 Go to next message

Hi,

how can I set the selection in a combobox using the JFace ComboViewer?
There's a method setSelection, but I don't know how to handle it.

Sorry, if this was asked before, but there's no search function available.

Thanks, Rudolf

Hi Rudolf,

I assume you set a ComboViewer on a SWT Combo and supported it with a
ContentProvider and a LabelProvider.
Then the object(s) in the selection are to be same that would be returned
by the ContentProvider.
The simple way I normally do it:
StructuredSelection selection = new StructuredSelection (list); // where
"list" is a java.util.List or an array of objects. If you just want to
select one object you create the StructuredSelection with just that one

comboViewer.setSelection (selection);

hope this helps,
Michael

Does the StructuredSelection object need to implement the
public boolean equals(Object obj)
method?

Hi Rudolf,

No, not AFAIK and the objects we use don't at least not all do.

Regards, Michael
