Hi Pavan,
The only way to do this is to draw the item texts yourself, and to specify
their widths so that their columns will pack() tighter. The snippet below
demonstrates this at the SWT level (table1 is a typical Table, while table2
has the three custom draw callbacks added). TableViewer exposes the SWT
Table's custom draw functionality through its owner draw facilities, for an
example of using them see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.jface. snippets/Eclipse%20JFace%20Snippets/org/eclipse/jface/snippe ts/viewers/Snippet010OwnerDraw.java?view=markup .
Also, for more info on using custom draw in Tables and Trees see article
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Cus tomDrawingTableAndTreeItems/index.html .
public class Main {
static int COLUMN_COUNT = 5;
public static void main(String[] args) {
final Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setBounds(10,10,600,200);
Table table1 = createTable(shell);
table1.setBounds(10,10,200,150);
final Table table2 = createTable(shell);
table2.setBounds(300,10,200,150);
table2.addListener(SWT.MeasureItem, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
/* ensure that the columns will pack() tightly */
int[] widths = (int[])event.item.getData();
if (widths == null) {
widths = new int[COLUMN_COUNT];
TableItem item = (TableItem)event.item;
GC gc = new GC(table2);
for (int i = 0; i < COLUMN_COUNT; i++) {
String text = item.getText(i);
widths[i] = gc.stringExtent(text).x;
}
gc.dispose();
item.setData(widths);
}
event.width = widths[event.index];
}
});
table2.addListener(SWT.EraseItem, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
/* tell the native to table to not draw the foreground content,
we'll do it */
event.detail &= ~SWT.FOREGROUND;
}
});
table2.addListener(SWT.PaintItem, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event event) {
/* draw the foreground content */
TableItem item = (TableItem)event.item;
event.gc.drawString(item.getText(event.index), event.x,
event.y);
}
});
for (int i = 0; i < COLUMN_COUNT; i++) {
table1.getColumn(i).pack();
table2.getColumn(i).pack();
}
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
static Table createTable(Composite parent) {
Table table = new Table(parent, SWT.NONE);
table.setLinesVisible(true);
for (int i = 0; i < COLUMN_COUNT; i++) {
new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE);
}
TableItem item = new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE);
for (int i = 0; i < COLUMN_COUNT; i++) {
item.setText(i, "text");
}
return table;
}
}
HTH,
Grant
