How to disable user editing/typing in a combo box editor in a table? [message #899686] Wed, 01 August 2012 20:43 Go to next message

We currently an SWT table, with two columns - the second of which is editable. We are trying to narrow down the possible selections the user can enter as a value. On some tableitems we would like to make them ComboBoxes...

Using CCombo we have figured out how to make the table editor a combobox for certain table items, but we really want to restrict the user to JUST those choices. We would like him not to be able to type into the box, rather we would like him to select from the list.

Is there any way to implement this?

Hi, could you post some code? How are you creating the CCombo?

Creating the CCombo with style SWT.READ_ONLY should do this.
