[nattable-dev] MultiCellEditDialog and TickUpdate

[Dirk Fauth <dirk.fauth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

I'm currently working on a major refactoring of the editing in NatTable. Internally there will be huge changes in processing and API. Getting rid of old stuff that isn't working anymore, introducing some new stuff. I will write down everything I did in another post (hopefully I don't forget something).

I'm almost done, but there is one thing I need to transfer to the new editing model I'm not aware of. In the MultiCellEditDialog there is some code for rendering a Combobox regarding the usage of TickUpdate stuff. I don't know about this TickUpdate, there is no documentation on this and there is no example showing how it is used.

IMHO this is a special type of editor that should only be opened in a dialog. Am I right? With the refactoring I'm doing at the moment it will be possible to create and configure such dialog-only editors. So I would like to create the TickUpdate one to be the first dialog-only editor in NatTable. So functionality stays, being modified a bit.

Could please somebody try to explain the TickUpdate to me? How the editor should work? For which type of base cell editor it should work?

Thanks in advance,
Dirk
