Re: [pde-ui-dev] How to get multiple checkbox columns in CheckboxTableVi

[Cherie Wong <cherie.wong@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chethan,

Check out the CheckboxCellEditor.

The tableviewer you're using should have a setCellEditors,
setCellModifier, and setColumnProperties.

Here's my let's-hope-this-works strategy for the above 3 methods :)

Create an array of CellEditors for your table viewer.  For the
particular column you want to have checkboxes, declare that particular
index of your array to be a checkbox cell editor.  Then inherit a new
ICellModifier for your table viewer and fill in the required methods
(note that you identify what column you're modifying via the String
property parameter in each method).  Next, assign a String property to
each column so you can identify it with the cell modifier.

Dig into the TableViewer and CellEditor APIs for more insight.

Last -- but never least -- this kind of question really isn't for the
PDE UI DEV mailing list since table viewers aren't PDE UI and DEV
mailing lists are geared towards developer discussions on design &
implementation rather than how-to-use :-)  The place best suited for
this question is the newsgroups:
http://eclipse.org/newsgroups/index.html  (Try the platform or SWT
newsgroups)


Hope that helps!

Yours,
Cherie.

I just checked API of CheckBoxTableViewer , but it by default gives checkbox only to one column and other columns does not have checkbox.  I am using this as filtering and the tableviewer is readonly.

I am very new to SWT and JFACE could anybody throw some light with little detailed API (Approach). My table viewer should look something like this,
