Hi,

I have a table with 3 columns, the first column contains checkbox. Within a given table I would be multiple such rows.

On clicking of a button, I am trying to get the selected rows in the table. Can anyone help me this please?

Below is my code snippet.

Thanks

TableItem tableItem = new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE);
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor (table);
Button checkButton = new Button(table, SWT.CHECK);
checkButton.pack();
editor.minimumWidth = checkButton.getSize().x;
editor.horizontalAlignment = SWT.CENTER;
editor.setEditor(checkButton, tableItem, 0);
editor = new TableEditor(table);
tableItem.setText(1, "Name");				
tableItem.setText(2, "State");
checkButton.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
	public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {				    	
		table.showSelection();
	}
});

..................
...............

button.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener() {
	public void handleEvent(Event event) {									
		TableItem[] items = table.getItems();
		int length = items.length;
		for(int i=0; i < length; i++) {
			TableItem item = items[i];
			System.out.println("Checked::"+item.getChecked());
			System.out.println("Text:"+item.getText());
			System.out.println("Display:"+item.getDisplay());										
		}									
	}
});

I assume you mean "checked" instead, of "selected", right? I suggest
that you query all items (#getItems()) and construct a new TableItem[]
that contains only those where #getChecked() returns true. In fact,
the jface component CheckboxTableViewer does so similarly.

Hi,

Thanks for your response. Yes, I meant checked checkbox.

I did the same but item.getChecked() returns false for me. Any ideas please?

Thanks

Please send us an SWT-like snippet that shows then problem.

Sorry for late reply. I did not get what you meant by SWT-like snippet

The code is similar to what is in my original post

TableItem tableItem = new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE);
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor (table);
Button checkButton = new Button(table, SWT.CHECK);
checkButton.pack();
editor.minimumWidth = checkButton.getSize().x;
editor.horizontalAlignment = SWT.CENTER;
editor.setEditor(checkButton, tableItem, 0);
editor = new TableEditor(table);
tableItem.setText(1, "Name");				
tableItem.setText(2, "State");
checkButton.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
	public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {				    	
		table.showSelection();
	}
});


The table would have 3 or 4 items (rows) and I wanted to identify which item in the table was selected by the user.

if I addSelectionListener to the checkbox button, I get the state but again I dont know which checkbox button is selected, like the index or some name to identify it.

Any help please?

Above is no complete snippet to argue about. It is very easy to get such
snippet from the SWT snippets home page:

http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/

Here I copied Snippet114 linked from that page and modified it a bit to
demonstrate how to get the index of an item via tree.indexOf(), see
below. Similar examples are possible for the Table widget. If you have a
problem, you should not unnecessarily impose the burden to understand
your problem to those who are willing to help.

public class Snippet114 {

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
final Tree tree = new Tree(shell, SWT.CHECK | SWT.BORDER | SWT.V_SCROLL
| SWT.H_SCROLL);
for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
TreeItem item = new TreeItem(tree, SWT.NONE);
item.setText("Item " + i);
}
tree.setSize(100, 100);
tree.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
String string = event.detail == SWT.CHECK ? "Checked"
: "Selected";
System.out.println(event.item + " " + string);
TreeItem ti = (TreeItem) event.item;
System.out.format("Index: %s\n", tree.indexOf(ti));
}
});
shell.setSize(200, 200);
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}

}
