How to select only one cell in a Table [message #463348]

I'm using a table and when I click on it with the mouse, the whole row is
hi-lighted. How do I change this behavior?

Also, I added a selection listener and, not surprisingly,
table.getSelection()[0].getText() gives me the first element in the row and
I want the second element in the row. How do I get the second element of the
row? I tried, table.getSelection()[1].getText() but this just caused it to
crashed.

Thanks,
Siegfried

I am not much in SWT table but I think there was something like
setRowSelection or it is the SWT.FULL_SELECTION style that determines
whether the full row or a single cell is selected.

Native tables only support selecting the first cell in a row or the entire
row.
To select individual cells, you need to use something like TableCursor.

See the following snippet:
