Hi,

I have an object model which contains an enumeration field. I would like to create for it an comboviewer on my xwt form.
I've put the chooseable items by setinput, I also define the contentprovider, labelprovider, everything works fine but the binding.

Let's say the model is a Phone entity which has to fields:
- phoneType is an enumeration
- number is a String

I would like to bind the phoneType to a comboviewer, it should be a comboviewer due to I have to provide the forms on many languages, so I have to use labelprovider..

So, any Idea how to bind the comboviewer's selected item to the model's phoneType?


Thx in advance,

Istvan

In general, it should be:
<ComboViewer input="{binding path=phoneType}">
</ComboViewer>

But it needs a content provider to return all literals of enum. Please try
it your-self, If it doesn't work, please report a bug.

I have made a try. The solution I suggested doesn't work.

I have created a bug to track the development of this feature

Hi,

I've just seen your answer.. Thx for the fix. In the meantime we made a workaround...

<ComboViewer name="bloodType"
input="xx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.enums.BloodType">
<ComboViewer.singleSelection>
<Binding path="bloodType">
</Binding>
</ComboViewer.singleSelection>
<ComboViewer.labelProvider>
<c:ServerCoreEnumLabelProvider />
</ComboViewer.labelProvider>
<ComboViewer.contentProvider>
<c:ServerCoreEnumContentProvider />
</ComboViewer.contentProvider>
<ComboViewer.layoutData>
<GridData horizontalAlignment="FILL" verticalAlignment="FILL"
grabExcessHorizontalSpace="true" grabExcessVerticalSpace="true" />
</ComboViewer.layoutData>
<ComboViewer.control>
</ComboViewer.control>
</ComboViewer>


where the ServerCoreEnumContentProvider's getElements

@Override
public Object[] getElements(Object inputElement) {
if(inputElement instanceof String){
try{
Class<?> clazz=Class.forName((String) inputElement);
Method method=clazz.getMethod("values", new Class[]{});
Object [] objectArray=(Object[]) method.invoke(clazz, new Object[]{});
if(objectArray !=null)
return objectArray;
else
return EMPTY;
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return EMPTY;
}

obviously it was hack... btw it works for all enum by name binding input parameter.

There is an other issue on comboviewer, the setselection invoked before the setinput, which means, the comboviewer does not show the value from the model at first time.

org.eclipse.e4.xwt.XWTException: Type cannot be a content of java.lang.Object org.eclipse.e4.xwt.internal.core.Binding.source


When I try the ComboViewer examples I get that exception. Did I forget anything?
