[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Why does the StyledCellLabelProvider.upd

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think that switching from TableViewer to using a Table instead will make
this work for you.  Though your current problem is likely rooted in Table, I
think you're seeing it as a result of how TableViewer reacts to custom draw
events, which is more complex than a typical case.  If you were to use a
Table and just do the drawing in response to these events then I think it
would work.  For more info on using Table/Tree custom draw at the swt level
see
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-CustomDrawingTableAndTreeItems/index.html .

The only other way to do this, which I would not suggest, would be to embed
Controls in the cells that are capable of drawing your content (eg.-
StyledTexts).  For an example of embedding Controls in Table/Tree cells see
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet149.java?view=co .

HTH,
