R3.4.1, WinXP
The latest message in this group on cell-editing that I could find is
over a year old ... so maybe I am barking up the wrong tree?
I am trying to create cell-editors in a TableViewer. I started by using
the old pre-3.3 API, which seems no longer to work ... I had something
like Snippet-009 -- the ICellModifier methods canModify() and getValue()
are called, with correct behavior, but the cell-editor never appears ...
(I tried both TextCellEditor and DialogCellEditor). I do have the
column-properties set; I do have SWT.FULL_SELECTION set.
(Is it possible that the problem arises b/c I am using
TableColumnLayout? or b/c the Table is the child of a Composite which is
itself the child of a *Group*?)
Then I tried looking at the snippet that would explain how to use the
new 3.3+ API, i.e., Snippet-034 (which, BTW, has incorrect javadoc at
the top!).
That's easy enough to implement and get to compile, but -- again -- the
cell-editor never appears. The three EditingSupport methods canEdit(),
getValue(), and getCellEditor() are called. I've tried both the
DialogCellEditor and the TextCellEditor, again.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Paul

Cell-editing certainly works in Eclipse on my machine (in the
refactoring wizard that edits method-parameters, e.g.), so I would
expect the snippets would run. I will try that at some point, but since
my problem is "why doesn't cell-editing work in my particular context?"
-- I am not sure what I would learn by running the snippets.
BTW -- where is the code for that wizard? Maybe I could copy that code ...
Anyway, further testing has proven that the two guesses I made (that the
problem had to do either with the grand-parent being a Group or with
parent having TableColumnLayout) were both false, since both old and new
cell-editing API's fail with or without those two (the Group, the
TableColumnLayout) being in place.
One oddity that may be a clue: with the old API, every click on the
editable column calls canModify() and getValue(); but with the new API,
only the *first* click on the editable column calls canEdit(),
getValue(), and getCellEditor().

Poking around a bit further, I found my error with the new API -- I made
the mistake of creating the CellEditor instances with no parent (the
snippet is of course correct, but when I wrote my own code, the
auto-complete led me into the default c'tor ...) Now I have working
new-style cell-editors.
thanks,
Paul
