org.eclipse.swt.custom.TableEditor
A TableEditor is a manager for a Control that appears above a cell in a Table and tracks with the
moving and resizing of that cell. It can be used to display a text widget above a cell
in a Table so that the user can edit the contents of that cell. It can also be used to display
a button that can launch a dialog for modifying the contents of the associated cell.
Here is an example of using a TableEditor:
final Table table = new Table(shell, SWT.FULL_SELECTION | SWT.HIDE_SELECTION);
TableColumn column1 = new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE);
TableColumn column2 = new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
TableItem item = new TableItem(table, SWT.NONE);
item.setText(new String[] {"item " + i, "edit this value"});
}
column1.pack();
column2.pack();
final TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(table);
//The editor must have the same size as the cell and must
//not be any smaller than 50 pixels.
editor.horizontalAlignment = SWT.LEFT;
editor.grabHorizontal = true;
editor.minimumWidth = 50;
// editing the second column
final int EDITABLECOLUMN = 1;
table.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
// Clean up any previous editor control
Control oldEditor = editor.getEditor();
if (oldEditor != null) oldEditor.dispose();
// Identify the selected row
TableItem item = (TableItem)e.item;
if (item == null) return;
// The control that will be the editor must be a child of the Table
Text newEditor = new Text(table, SWT.NONE);
newEditor.setText(item.getText(EDITABLECOLUMN));
newEditor.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener() {
public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {
Text text = (Text)editor.getEditor();
editor.getItem().setText(EDITABLECOLUMN, text.getText());
}
});
newEditor.selectAll();
newEditor.setFocus();
editor.setEditor(newEditor, item, EDITABLECOLUMN);
}
});
