Description Linda Damus CLA 2007-10-17 16:47:45 EDT
After implementing JFace 3.3 keyboard editing support for my TableViewer (whose style includes SWT.MULTI), I lost the abiliby to select multiple rows in the table by both mouse and keyboard.

Just to be sure that my implementation wasn't at fault, I ran the Snippet044NoColumnTableViewerKeyboardEditing JFace snippet with SWT.MULTI added to its TableViewer style, and discovered that it, too, does not support multi-selection of rows by either mouse or keyboard.

We currently don't support KeyBoard-Navigation in conjunction with SWT.MULTI sorry. It seems we missed this fact in the JavaDoc of Tree/TableFocusManager. Feel free to dive into the code and think about a possible solution :-)

Hey tom,

I have some requirnment like focus cell as well selection of that particular
cell. Like Creating an order by traversing across each and every cell then i
need to provide selection of the rows and send all the selcted rows to the
service layer.
I would feel that the focus cell manager usage removes the selection of the
rows . Hope full i would require any body help in getting resolved this issue.


Please revert me as soon as possible or help me with code snippets.

with regards,
Saravana Babu

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.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
