I would like the text to be blue and underlined as a reference link.

Thanks in Advance.

You need to use OwnerDraw in your Table. In JFace we provide you a
StyledTextLabelProvider which might help you make such a support easier
to implement.

Hello Tom and Jim,

Thanks both for your help.

I succeeded implementing this function. However, I've did it using

swt.widgets.link & swt.custom.tableeditor

Here is the code for everybody.

Link link = new Link (dataTable, SWT.NULL);
link.setText("<A href=\"\">" + stringTemp + "</A>");
link.setSize(stringTemp.length(), 0);
tableEditor = new TableEditor (dataTable);
tableEditor.minimumWidth = link.getSize().x;
tableEditor.horizontalAlignment = SWT.CENTER;
tableEditor.setEditor(link, tableItem, 2);

Best Regards.

I don't think this is a good idea if your table has a lot of items
you'll run out of handles quite soon.

His suggestion was to use custom/owner draw. This is described at the swt
level in
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Cus tomDrawingTableAndTreeItems/index.html .

Well with a StyledCellLabelProvider it is quite easy to do:

> public class ComponentLabelProvider extends StyledCellLabelProvider {
> private static Styler BOTH_STYLER = new Styler() {
> @Override
> public void applyStyles(TextStyle textStyle) {
> textStyle.underline = true;
> }
> };
> public void update(final ViewerCell cell) {
> StyledString styledString = new StyledString(cell.getElement().toString(), BOTH_STYLER);
> cell.setText(styledString.getString());
> cell.setStyleRanges(styledString.getStyleRanges());
> }
