[news.eclipse.technology.nebula] Re: Grid - Inline Editing

[Peter Pfeifer <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Tom.

Thank you very much. I added your changes and now both work like a 
charm. But that leads me to another question :-) I don't know if I 
should start a new thread, but first I'll try my luck within this one.

I want to use the grid/gridtableviewer for quick data entry. Therefore I 
have a special requirement. When the active cell is the really last one 
in the grid and the user presses the tab-key a new record/row should be 
added to the grid. It's more or less the same as in MS Word/OO when the 
user is editing the last cell of a table and pressing the tab-key 
automatically adds one new row.

Is this also possible to be done with the grid/gridtableviewer?

Thank you very much.

Peter
