row selection in the Grid widget [message #25392] Wed, 31 January 2007 11:55 Go to next message

Hi everybody,

I tried to handle a row selection within the Grid widget, through
clicking on the row header and evaluate the Selection-Event.
Unfortunately i can't find a hint that:
- a row header was selected
- more than one cell is selected without using shift or ctrl to
select them
The reason for the last problem is, that not the originally mouseDown
state mask is referred to the SelectionListeners, but a new Event object
with an empty state mask.
Is there another way to handle a row selection, or a workaround for my
problem?

By the way, is it planned to allow not only column moving but also
column group moving?

best regards

Christian Neudert

Hi Christian,

I'm interested to know why you need to specifically know if a row header
was selected. Isn't it enough to just know that more cells are selected?

Regarding group moving, I hadn't planned on adding that feature but it
sounds like a good idea. Can you add a feature request to bugzilla?

I actually think this is the best way to handle a copy and paste action
for single Items ( I didn't looked further if it's possible at all to
copy and paste a Item ).
A way would be to make, like i do it to get the Column while handling a
popup menu selection. I add a MouseMoveListener to the Grid and check
the Column with the getColumn(Point p) method. Although this would be
inefficient checking everytime i select a cell.
The easiest way would be to check if no Shift or Ctrl key is pressed and
there is more than one cell selected, so it must be a row header
selection (if there is more than one column).

By the way, is this a bug:
-Click on a row header, while a column group isn't expandend
-for example 2 Cells are selected
-expand the group, but still only the 2 cells are selected

Ive submitted the feature request for ColumnGroup moving.

bye

Can you please enter a bug to make sure they shift/ctrl state is passed
through the event?

This is intended behavior. The assumption is that if a given cell is
hidden the user is not intending to select it.
