Build ID: I20070410-1043 Steps To Reproduce: A few changes to DialogCellEditor would make it much easier to extend: 1) DialogCellLayout should be made protected or public. 2) There should be a way to override the selection listener on the button without having to override and copy the entire createControl method. It's especially difficult to override this method because it uses the DialogCellLayout, which is not accessible to subclasses. Reason: I needed a cell editor that looks and behaves almost exactly like a DialogCellEditor; however, when the button is pressed, instead of launching the dialog right away, my cell editor displays a small context menu of frequently used choices, plus a "More..." option to launch the full dialog. The only way to change the selection behaviour on the button was to override the createControl method, which meant that I needed to copy the entire method just to changed the selection listener. Since this method is also where the layout is set, I needed to copy the DialogCellLayout class since it wasn't accessible to subclasses..
Since we are past the API freeze, we can only address this in 3.4.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
