Hey guys!

I've got the idea of a SWT Table/Grid Widget which can use some of the features provided by the Xtext Editor. The most needed features would be the code completion, the linking and the validation.
So, my actual question... is it possible to use those features outside of the Xtext Editor?

Thanks a lot Smile

Daniel

Hey again!

I've found an interesting approach in the Eclipse Magazin 3.11 "TMF meets GMF" where Xtext is used in a temporary displayed editbox via an adjusted TextCellEditor (named XTextCellEditor).
But I'm not really sure how this could be done with an SWT Widget, especially if this widget has no CellEditor or something like that. (like the Xviewer of the Nebula Project or NatTable).
Any input on this is highly welcome Smile

Daniel

Jan did that in the GMF example wich we had to drop in Xtext 2.0 due to
problems with GMF. But you could look at the Xtext 1.0 version of it.
Also note that the template proposals text widget in the preference page
is based on an Xtext editor. You should be able to find some hints there
as well. Finally there is a project called xtext-forms over at
eclipselabs
http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/xtext-forms-integration/

Also AFAIK such an Xtext integration is used in papyrus.

Hey guys.

The article isn't available online, only for subscribers of eclipse magazine.
Thanks for your answer Sven. I already looked into the forms example, but this just won't solve the problem, as I need the features of Xtext over the whole table. This means I have to map the model's tree to the table and still provide the correct content assist (e.g. one row for each EObject with the EAttributes listed). If I do it like in the forms example, then I'll have a full Xtext Editor for each cell, which will definitely not solve the problem.
I will have a look at papyrus, thanks for the hint Smile

Hi,

the article is not available online, but I wrote a small blog post on this topic.
(muelder.blogspot.com)

The CellEditor is part of the YAKINDU Statechart tools project now, you can find it at the google code eclipse labs.
