[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: TableViewer and SWT.CHECK

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David,

There's one aspect of your description that's a bit strange: at the swt
level the centering of item text in the first column is never done (all
platforms) because of a platform limitation on win32.  Column 0 always has
left-alignment regardless of the style it's created with.  I wonder if
TableViewer is doing any magic to get around this, like creating a 0-width
first column (?).  Table.setHeaderVisible(true) could provide a clue here if
you're not already doing this.

Under normal circumstances an item's checkbox should never overlap with its
first column's text.  Are you able to create a snippet (template:
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#whatisasnippet ) that shows this
happening?
