[news.eclipse.technology.nebula] Control multi-selection in a Grid

[dmacdonald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Daniel MacDonald)]

Hello,

I have a question about multiple selection with the Grid widget.

Essentially what I want to do is to be able to drag-select a number of 
cells, but limit that selection to only the column where the drag 
originated.

For example, say my grid has 3 columns and 10 rows, if I start dragging in 
cell A1, then I only the rows from column A to be selectable.

Does anyone have any pointers to how (or if) this could be achieved?

I haven't tried this yet, but I'm pretty sure I could modify the selection 
once the mouse has been released and use GridTableViewer.setSelection(~) 
to change it so the selection is from only one column. However during the 
actual drag, it would still give the impression that multiple columns are 
being selected.

Thanks
Daniel
