Incorrect showItem behaviour (got problem with TreeViewerEditor) [message #540770] Thu, 17 June 2010 09:50 Go to next message

Tree.showItem() states in the java doc that,

".... If the item is already showing in the receiver, this method simply
returns...."

However, it takes the top left to determine if an item is showing or
not. So as long as the very left point of the item is not out of
vision, the tree will scroll everything to the very left (except a few
pixels for the expand node button)

This makes a big problem when using with TreeViewerEditor.

When user scroll the tree a bit to the right and click on a cell, the
tree will auto-scroll. Depends on how close the column being clicked to
the end of the tree, it may results in totally unexpected position.

This is how I initialize the tree.

treeViewer = new TreeViewer(...);

TreeViewerEditor.create(treeViewer, new
TreeViewerFocusCellManager(treeViewer, new
FocusCellHighlighter(treeViewer)), strategy,
ColumnViewerEditor.KEYBOARD_ACTIVATION |
ColumnViewerEditor.TABBING_HORIZONTAL);

//create tree columns...


Thanks

IIRC we fixed this in 3.6. What's your version?

My version is 3.5 (Build id: 20100218-1602)

Glad to hear there is a fix but sadly a pre-stable release might not be
an option for me. Do you think if there is a workaround?


Do you think 3.6 will be on time coming out in late June this year (just
a couple of days?)?
