Paste Data [message #1058629]

Hi,

I want to implement a copy / paste mechanism for the NatTable.
For copy I use the default org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.copy.action.CopyDataAction. Works fine.

Is there a possibility to use a default paste action which calls the setValue(int columnIndex, int rowIndex, Object newValue) method of the IRowDataProvider?

At the moment I have registered a KeyBinding (CTRL+v) in the UIBindingregistry and manage the paste manually. Is there a better / easier way to do this?

Thank you!

Currently there is no default paste mechanism in NatTable. This is because pasting is related to editing and therefore special to the use cases.

Of course we could think about a default implementation in NatTable. But without looking at it in much more detail it would look like what you implemented, with additional checks for editable state, conversion and validation safety. It would also need to take care of the sructure of the selected and copied cells. And of course it wouldn't be configured by default then.

For now, no there is no default implementation I would know.

Hi! Sorry if it is a silly question, but I looked at FormulaDataExample and I don't understand why NatTable doesn't execute PasteDataCommand in case when I select a cell and it becomes editable, and then I press Ctrl+V?

How can I process CTRL+V pressing if I'm trying to paste something to an editable cell?

Because in that case the SWT copy paste mechanism is applied. In an editable field you are in a Text component and not NatTable when looking into the details.

Thank you, Dirk, for the answer. I solved my problem by using an appropriate cell editor.

I had to copy several cells from Excel to the filter row. I made this using custom FilterRowTextCellEditor implementation as an extension of MultiLineTextCellEditor. Not sure than it is the perfect way but maybe it would be helpful for somebody.
