Hi,

we'd like to modify the position of the checkbox in out SWT tree table in order to have the checkbox on the left side (no ident) and the tree control (+/-) on the right side of it (maybe even in another column).

The result should look somhow like this:

We also thought about moving the tree controls to the second column and display checkboxes using custom column icons - but this seems not possible either.

Any hint on solving this issue are highly appreciated.

Thanks and kind regards,
Dirk

Hi,

Which platform are you trying on?
When you create a Tree with SWT.CHECK box on Mac it appears the same way as shown in the link.

We're trying on Windows (W2K). The problem seems to be that the native OS widget decides how to rendern the checkbox, but we'd like to make sure that it looks like we wanted on every platform.

This is not supported. The first column has to be the one with +/- and
where the checkbox is displayed is the native platform behavior changing
this would lead to an inconsitent platform L&F.

The only solution is to use a custom drawn control like Nebula-Grid
where the column with the +/- can be at any position you like it to
(beside the fact that you can implement your own renderer to suite your
needs without reordering columns - you naturally loose the native L&F)

So you should use the snapshot technique as suggested at several places,
e.g.

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.jface.s nippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippet s/viewers/Snippet061FakedNativeCellEditor.java?view=markup

HTH & Greetings from Bremen,

Sorry for the noise, I misunderstood your question.
