Hello, hope I can get some help regarding the following issue.
I have a jface table viewer with two columns. I listen to some specific EMF model instances and sort out some of their features. Via further databinding, the first column shows the name and the second column the value of these features. The second column is editable. I have extended the EditingSupport class so that I can use the EMF edit commands to set the values of features.
public class MyEditingSupport extends EditingSupport {
Map<String, CellEditor> celleditors = new HashMap<String, CellEditor>();
private TableViewer viewer;
private EditingDomain editingDomain;
public TaggedValueEditingSupport(TableViewer tableViewer, EditingDomain editingDomain) {
super(tableViewer);
this.viewer = tableViewer;
new TextCellEditor(viewer.getTable());
this.editingDomain = editingDomain;
}
@Override
protected CellEditor getCellEditor(Object element) {
return new TextCellEditor(viewer.getTable());
}
@Override
protected boolean canEdit(Object element) {
return true;
}
@Override
protected Object getValue(Object element) {
...
}
@Override
protected void setValue(Object element, Object value) {
...
viewer.update(element, null);
}
}
The second column gets editable with the following line:
secondTableColum.setEditingSupport(new MyEditingSupport(tableViewer, getEditingDomain()));
But for now I only use simple TextCellEditors in MyEditingSupport, which is OK for String or Integer features. Now I need to support further types of features such as Boolean or Enum with ComboBoxEditors, or multi-cardinal features with a DialogBoxEditor.
The thing is that at a given time, there can be different types of features shown in the table viewer. For example, while the first cell from the second column has a String object in it, the second cell under it can have a boolean. So this leads to while the first cell can be editable with a simple TextCellEditor, for the second cell I need a ComboBoxEditor. Actually exactly like how the Eclipse Properties View handles this.
This is where I lose the track. I have no idea how I can combine these different kind of editors for various cells at the same time. For a column in a table viewer there can only be on editing support. I probably need first of all a switch-case for the objects that are in different cells of the second column and implement accordingly different editors, right? Or is there another way to achieve this?
Thanks a lot, every help will be appreciated.
Emre

Hi Emre,
You can specify the CellEditor in the method protected CellEditor getCellEditor(Object element) of your EditingSupport.
This method will be called whenever you click to edit an element.
In the parameter of this method, there is the model element so you can do an if (element instanceof XXXX) return XXXCellEditor; else ..... to return the appropriate CellEditor.
Kind Regards,
Hussein
