[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Table: cannot select any cell that is no

[mcheung@xxxxxxxxxxx (michael)]

You can actually add a mouse down listener to select other cell...

table.addListener(SWT.MouseDown, new Listener() {
           public void handleEvent(Event event) {
               table.deselectAll();

               Rectangle clientArea = table.getClientArea();
               Point pt = new Point(event.x, event.y);
               int index = table.getTopIndex();

               while (index < table.getItemCount()) {
                   boolean visible = false;
                   final TableItem item = table.getItem(index);
                   for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumnCount(); i++) {
                       Rectangle rect = item.getBounds(i);
                       if ( rect.contains(pt) ) {
                           final int column = i;
                           final Text text = new Text(table, SWT.NONE);
                           Listener textListener = new Listener() {
                               public void handleEvent(final Event e) {
                                   switch (e.type) {
                                       case SWT.FocusOut:
                                           item.setText(column, 
text.getText());
                                           text.dispose();
                                           break;
                                       case SWT.Traverse:
                                           switch (e.detail) {
                                               case SWT.TRAVERSE_RETURN:
                                                   item.setText(column, 
text.getText());
                                               // FALL THROUGH
                                               case SWT.TRAVERSE_ESCAPE:
                                                   text.dispose();
                                                   e.doit = false;
                                           }
                                           break;
                                   }
                               }
                           };
                           text.addListener(SWT.FocusOut, textListener);
                           text.addListener(SWT.Traverse, textListener);
                           editor.setEditor(text, item, i);
                           text.setText(item.getText(i));
                           text.selectAll();
                           text.setFocus();                            
                           
                           return;
                       }
                       if ( !visible && rect.intersects(clientArea) ) {
                           visible = true;
                       }
                   }
                   if ( !visible )
                       return;
                   index++;
               }
           }
       });
