I want to create a table (that will finally exist in a new eclipse view). This table has a few text columns, and a column that has a different behavior based on the other columns. It can either be a field to enter text, or to popup a dialog for users to select data from (and it has to be a popup or a dynamically created combo). Anyway, I know which of the two I need for each row in the column.
My table is built using TableViewer and a few TableViewerColumn's in it. I later fill them with String data in TableItem's up to 4 columns. The fifth is the one I have this special behavior.
I tried experimenting with TableEditor, but failed:
When I used one for each TableItem it somehow got misaligned with the table rows and columns
When I use one for the entire table, I fail to set a Text entry on specific rows
What I need help with is figuring out exactly how to achieve this:
A Table that has 4 String columns, where the data is constant (cannot be changed by the user)
A fifth column where the cell contents is either a Text for the user to enter, or a (preferably transparent) Button that has a popup as action, or a Combo that I dynamically fill with data upon table creation
Any idea would be highly appreciated.
OK, got this figured out. The example here helped a lot:

I have a very basic problem with jtable. I have a jtable that has multiple columns with one of column having a button. When i click on that button a panel drops, and asks to select an option from given options. When i select that option, value replaces in one of the column.
Now, i want when i select multiple rows, and do the same thing as above, it should replace that column in all the selected rows.
Problem: Currently, my table is losing selection when i am clicking the button in one of the column in jtable after multiple row selection.
I searched google and stackoverflow a lot, but could not find anything meaningful. Anyhelp or sample code is appreciated.
Thanks
If I understood your problem correctly then the solution is fairly simple.
First of all the issue probably occurs because once you click on the button java sets a new focus on the button and therefore clearing the focus on the other rows. That won´t be a problem in a single selection because you still click into the selected row, however doing that with multiple rows in one go won´t work that way.
To solve this you need to save your previous selections in something like an ArrayList and after the whole option thing you can apply the changes to every element in the ArrayList and reload the table.
A cleaner and more intuitive approach though would be to place the button outside of the JTable.
I just got this Jtable on Netbeans . First I want it to auto-calculate some grades, as you can see it has 3 columns (1st, 2nd and 3rd evaluation). I have to type between 0 and 100, in each row.
In the end, get the total and average. This can be displayed in a Jlabel, or a textfield. But, it has to be displayed real-time (as I'm typing the values).
Also, I can't type data on all the cells, just one for each row. How do I do this?
I know I can change the columns to accept only Integer values, but for everything else, I have no idea how to proceed.

Well, you would want to update "after" the user has finished editing a cell and saves the value to the table.
So you can use a TableModelListener. You add the TableModelListener to the TableModel. Then when the data is saved an event will be generated and you can recalculate the values and update the label.
Check out the following for a simple example to get your started: TableModelListener and multiple column validation. Your logic in the listener will change based on your exact requirement.
You can do this by attaching a defaultTableModel to your JTable. After attaching TableModel to your JTable. You can use command JTable.addRow(Object[]) to add rows to table.
I have an Eclipse SWT table. It contains multiple rows (with row headers) and multiple columns (with column headers). On click on a column header I want to deselect all rows and highlight only the column's header (or all cells of this column). Is that possible?
I already registered a listener for the column header's selection and am able to set the selection to the given column, but then it also always selects the first row automatically. I tried with SWT.FULL_SELECTION and SWT.SINGLE as the style of my table, but it only changes the way how the row is highlighted, but I want only to highlight the column's header (or optionally all cells of this column) and no rows.
Is it possible? Did anyone have the same problem?
I ran into the same problem and I'm afraid you can't do that in SWT.
I solved by imitating the selection of a column; I colored the cells as if they were selected, and dropped the "real" selection.
You should extend your own TableViewer and override the getSelection() method to reflect that you now also have this imitated kind of selection.
(And from a UX perspective, you should make sure that a copy command (i.e. Ctrl+C) behaves as users expect it.)
I have a JavaFX TableView with some columns and some rows. Each column has a custom TableCell to be edited, for example: some columns use text fields, some others use check boxes, choice boxes and so on.
What I want is to edit several cells (simultaneously) in the same column by doing the following:
Select some rows in the TableView.
Click on a cell using the right mouse button.
A context menu is shown with the option "Edit All"; choose it.
Somehow I edit one of those cells and every cell in the same column whose row is selected commits the same value.
What I want to know is whether it is possible for every cell to “commitEdit” the same value. I cannot find the way of doing it.
Thanks in advance.
I've build an application in Java with the help of JFace/SWT. I am using mainly the TableViewer of JFace and sometime the SWT table behind with myTableViewer.getTable().
My table has a header (filled with the column names) and the first row is rendered with CCombos in CellEditors (drop down menus for filters).
Now I want to fix this first row ("filter-row") in the table, so it is always shown, independently if I am scrolling down or not..
Do you know any opportunity to do this (instead of splitting one table in two tables, as I found it in the internet)?
The SWT Table does not support fixed rows or columns.
If the combos were inteded to hold a limited number of choices you may use context menus on the column headers instead.
There are also alternative Table-like implementations in varying degrees of maturity that you may consider:
Nebula Grid
XViewer
NatTable
If non of the above fits your requirements you will have to either use a distinct table that holds the combo widgets or implement a custom 'header' control.
