Hello All,

I am working in Eclipse RCP, Windows7 platform.

I am getting following issues :

With mouse click the column editor (which is TextCellEditor) of an empty Table should be activated. Till now i am able to know in which column the mouse is clicked but i am not
able to get the row index since the table is empty.
 
Is it possible to do that ? and if yes, any hints about how it should be done?

Thanks in anticipation.

Best Regards,
Julia

So you would create all rows until "row" the user clicked? You can
calculate the row using the rowHeight provided by the Table-Control but
I'm not sure I got you right.

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for your reply.

I will explain my problem once again.

I am working to add a few functionalities in oneTable, in this Table, I have added cell editors(TextCellEditor) .
When the rows of the table contains object and if I click on any cell of that rows then the Editors are working fine.

But now My need is if I click on any empty cell of the rows, i.e. the cell which does not contain any objects, then also the cell Editors should be activated. And i should be able to edit it. How should I proceed to add this functinality ?"

If I browse the table with TAB and Arrows keys , this is working. I implemented this functionality in first phase and now in second phase i will have to do with mouse click.

I think if somehow i can find Row Index then this can be done. Whats your thought ?
Please let me know if you have understood my problem ?

Any hint will be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,
Julia

Hi,

I still don't get that if there's no row-object how did you manage to go
there with TAB/Arrow-Keys, if there's no row-object there's no TableItem
so you can't navigate to it.

I'm a little bit lost because I'm not sure what you are doing because
you are once talking about cells, then rows, ... .

I think it is best you create a small self-contained snippet which we
can run locally and describe exactly what one has to expect in which
situation. A good starting point of such a snippet is the collection in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/JFaceSnippets.

As outline before you can calculate the row-index from the event.x/y and:
a) Using the TableItem#getBounds(), TableItem#getBounds(int)
b) Using the RowHeight provided by the Table-Control itself and
TableColumn#getWidth().

Hi Tom,

Thanking you once again for your detailed reply. I will check what you suggested.
In between , i would like describe my task once again :

When the rows of the table contains object then only I am able to traverse its cells with TAB/Arrow-Keys and also can edit them.
 
My task is, "if  a row does not contain objects then also if I click on its cells, then the corresponding cell Editor should be activated."
 
With this code I am able to get in which column I clicked(i.e 1st column or 2nd column etc) but I am not able to get the corresponding Row.
Or is there  any other way to do that?
 
viewer.getTable().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
 
                  public void mouseDown(MouseEvent e) {
                        int x = 0;
                        int activeColumn = -1;
                        // TableItem item = new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE);
 
                        for (int i = 0; i < viewer.getTable().getColumnCount(); i++) {
                             x += viewer.getTable().getColumn(i).getWidth();
                             if (e.x <= x) {
                                   activeColumn = i;
                                   break;
                             }
                        }
                        CellEditor[] editor = viewer.getCellEditors();
                        switch (activeColumn) {
                        case 1:
                        case 2:
                        case 3:
                        case 4:
 
                             // item.setText(activeColumn, "column");
                             editor[activeColumn].activate();
                 
                        }
                  }
            });
 
 Please let me hear from you.

Regards,
Julia

Hi,

Ok we are approaching it slowly. You can not activate a celleditor
unless you have created Row-Objects (wha are represented as
TableItem-Instances in the SWT) for it.

Beside that you CellEditor activation has to be done using the viewer
API by calling editElement(Object,int).

Given all those facts the only thing that makes sense is that if say the
table contains 5 rows and the user clicks in the 6th that you create a
row object, call viewer.add() and then viewer.editElement(Object,int).

You code could like this then (totally untested braindump):

viewer.getTable().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter {
public void mouseDown(MouseEvent e) {
int count = viewer.getTable().getItemCount();
if( count > 0 ) {
TableItem last = viewer.getTable().getItem(count-1);
Rectangle rect = last.getBounds();
if( rect.y + rect.height < e.y ) {
createRowAndActivate(e);
}
} else {
createRowAndActivate(e);
}

}

void createRowAndActivate(MouseEvent e) {
MyRow m = new MyRow();
viewer.add(m);
viewer.editElement(m,getColumnIndex(e));
}

int getColumnIndex(MouseEvent e) {
for (int i = 0; i < viewer.getTable().getColumnCount(); i++)
{
x += viewer.getTable().getColumn(i).getWidth();

if (e.x <= x) {
rerturn i;
}
}
return 0;
}
}

Hi Tom,

Many thanks for your time and reply. Your post was very helpful.
I implemented this functionality by filling objects with null values. So may be its not a wonderful idea but requrement was full filled with everybody's knowledge. As this can not be done in anyother way.

Thanking you once again.

Best Regards,
Julia

Hi,

null is NOT a good idea in viewers you should create NullObject.
