[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: TableViewer and CellLabelProviders

[Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could you please provide a snippet for me to test? I thought it works 
just the way you describ it if there's not LabelProvider provider 
attached to a Column the the JFace-Code ensures to generate one from the 
label provider attached to the viewer.

All in all mixing the old and the new API is always a dangerous thing.
