Editable NatTable for GlazedLists? [message #1564220]

Hello!

I have been working with GlazedLists for the past few weeks and just recently found out that their default event table viewer does not allow for editing the table values. I started looking at NatTable this morning to replace it. Is it possible to edit the values of a NatTable that is backed by a GlazedList? If yes, is there a good NatTable example I can check out? I looked at the two GlazedLists and NatTable examples on GitHub, but I didn't see any reference to either JFace's CellEditor or GlazedLists WritableTableFormat.

If we get this working, I'm willing to contribute some example code back.

There are NatTable examples on GitHub? I don't know them, so I can't tell anything about that. But if you are looking at our homepage https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/ you will find the NatTable Examples Application that can be executed via WebStart when clicking on the "Try it!" button.

In the official examples application you will find several examples regarding editing. There is also dedicated example for editing in conjunction with GlazedLists.

But there is one important thing to know. NatTable has its own mechanism for editing. There is no JFace CellEditor support, nor do we support such thing as the WritableTableFormat. The reason for this is that NatTable is a custom painted table control that has no relation to a native SWT table.

To get started with NatTable you might want to give the new Getting Started Tutorial a try I published a few days ago: http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/NatTable/article.html

The editing tutorial is work in progress, but you will find some basic information on our website: https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=editing

Thanks Dirk! I'll check it all out and post what I come up with in the end.

As for the GitHub examples:

Oh, these are the official examples. I wasn't aware that they are also hosted on GitHub.

I think the editing example with GlazedLists is located in the integration section. And the editing examples are located in the configuration section

I finally got around to hooking Nattable up. It was straightforward and mostly followed the examples. Here's the code:

https://github.com/eclipse/ice/blob/jay/reflectivity/src/org.eclipse.ice.client.widgets/src/org/eclipse/ice/client/widgets/ListComponentSectionPage.java

We are in the process of pulling that code out into a reusable composite.

Thanks again for the help Dirk!
