Description Brad Reynolds CLA 2005-10-09 10:53:24 EDT 
Two common requests that I hear when using editors in the TableViewer that
aren't possible today are:
* Ability to change the values of the ComboBoxCellEditor before it's displayed
depending upon data in the model.
* Ability to define editors at the cell level and not just column level.

In my own viewer I allow this by proving an implementation of an
IEditorProvider.  It has one method and to it I pass the column defined editor,
the element, and the property.  I call this before activating the editor and the
consumer can return any type of editor that they please.  I then use the
provided editor for the editing of the cell.  This seems to satisfy the 2 use
cases defined above.

These are really two separate issues. Since there already is another bug (bug
113713) that tracks the issue of being able to define cell editors at the cell
level, this one should focus on the ComboBoxCellEditor issue. I updated the
summary accordingly.
