ICellEditorValidator problem [message #464203]

Hi all,

I want to add input validation to a TableViewer. I do this by setting an
ICellEditorValidator as validator of a TextCellEditor. The method
isValid just checks if the entered String is empty:

public String isValid(Object value) {
if (((String)value).trim().length() == 0) {
return "a name is required";
}
return null;
}

isValid gets called correctly and returns the error message if an empty
String is entered into the TextCellEditor, but the TableViewer ignores
this and accepts the new value instead of rejecting it and showing the
error message.

Am I missing some kind of validation-enabling, or is validation not
implemented by TableViewer/TextCellEditor?

tia,
M

You need to ask this question on eclipse.platform. That's where JFace
issues are discussed.
