Table selection event [message #466658] Thu, 12 January 2006 13:43 Go to next message

Hi,

I have a Table, with three TableColumn's, the first is a name, and the last
is a buttom, the center is a regular cell.
Whenever a row gets selected the middle row changes to a widget depending on
the value in the first row.
So, I have a selectionListener on the table which creates a TableEditor and
specific widget and populates it.
My problem is that I wish the user to be able to use Tab and/or the down
arrow, to cycle through the rows in the table.
Soon I realised that using table.select() and table.setSelection() don't
send SelectionEvents, but I am wondering how if there is already a
workaround or an easier way than say, sending my own type of event?

Any help is welcome.

Thank you
Henry

Here is what I have decided to use for the time being.

parentTable.addTraverseListener( new TraverseListener() {
public void keyTraversed(TraverseEvent e) {
switch(e.detail) {
case SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_NEXT:
{
Event eV = new Event();
eV.type = SWT.KeyDown;
eV.keyCode = SWT.ARROW_DOWN;
parentTable.getDisplay().post(eV);
}
break;
case SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_PREVIOUS:
{
Event eV = new Event();
eV.type = SWT.KeyDown;
eV.keyCode = SWT.ARROW_UP;
parentTable.getDisplay().post(eV);
}
break;
}
e.doit = false;
}
});

Also, each of the widgets taht gets created has a similar TraverseListener
for catching Returns, Tabs and Previous Tabs.

Is this really the wisest way to do it?

You could use TableCursor to implement navigation by keyboard.
See the class javadoc of TableCursor or the SWT snippets for an example:
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/

I dont know however if Tablecursor supports navigation with tabulator.
