[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Putting Composite into TableItem ?

[ggayed@xxxxxxxxxx (Grant Gayed)]

Ivan,

You can display a Combo in a cell using the same approach as shown in
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-swt-home/snippits/snippet88.html
  However, the literal content of a table cell cannot be a Combo, it can
only be a string.
