[platform-swt-dev] Auto completion for SWT Table widget column (or Cell)

[Gangs <gangababu.t@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Team,

  I have one requirement where I need to implement auto completion feature inside Table column. When user enter something in table cell, I need to show up suggestions as per user entered value. I know about logic to implement to get suggestions depending on user entered text. But I do not know how to show up the  results.

I wrote something like this.

private void setAutoCompletion(String value )
    {
        try
        {
            ContentProposalAdapter adapter = null;
            //getAllProposals() have logic to retrieve suggestions.
            String[] newProposals = getAllProposals(value);
            SimpleContentProposalProvider scp = new SimpleContentProposalProvider( newProposals );
            adapter = new ContentProposalAdapter(<instance of org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Table>, new TextContentAdapter(),
                    scp,null,null);
            adapter.setAutoActivationDelay(1000);
            adapter.setProposalAcceptanceStyle(ContentProposalAdapter.PROPOSAL_REPLACE);
        }
        catch( Exception e )
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

I call setAutoCompletion() method for each letter entered by user inside table cell.

The above code worked for me for Swt Text widget, but not working with SWT Table widget.

Any clue or suggestion would be greatly appreciable.

Thanks in advance.
