[news.eclipse.tools.emf] Searchable Combobox for Features

Hi,

we're working with the generated .edit and .editor plug-ins which we enhance step-by-step to get the functionality we need.

Our users are faced with quite large menus when they attempt to specify reference features in the properties view. Then they need to scroll up and down in order to find the right target item for the reference.

We would like to provide them with a search feature, maybe as a filter that reduces the number of presented items as they type in some substring of the desired item.

The default cell editor for references is implemented through the ExtendedComboBoxCellEditor class I believe.

If we created our own CellEditor where would we have to hook that in so that it gets called when the user click on the reference feature?

Does somebody know about a SearchableComboBoxCellEditor (or whatever it maybe called)?

Thanks and Regards,
Dirk
