How to add an editable checkbox at JFace TableViewer

How to add an editable checkbox at JFace TableViewer?

1, create an EditingSupport object for the column. getValue and setValue method be called when user click the checkbox and the value changes.

package dti.cms.additionaldatamgr.view;

import dti.cms.additionaldatamgr.bean.ORMData;

import org.eclipse.jface.viewers.*;

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;

public class ORMIndicatorEditingSupport extends EditingSupport {

    private TableViewer tableViewer;

 

    public ORMIndicatorEditingSupport(TableViewer viewer) {

        super(viewer);

        this.tableViewer = viewer;

    }

 

    @Override

    protected CellEditor getCellEditor(Object o) {

        return new CheckboxCellEditor(null, SWT.CHECK);

    }

 

    @Override

    protected boolean canEdit(Object o) {

        return true;

    }

 

    @Override

    protected Object getValue(Object o) {

        ORMData ormData = (ORMData) o;

 

        return ormData.isOrmIndicator();

    }

 

    @Override

    protected void setValue(Object element, Object value) {

        ORMData ormData = (ORMData) element;

        ormData.setOrmIndicator((Boolean) value);

 

        tableViewer.refresh();

 

    }

}

 

2, add editing support to specific column.

      ormDataTableViewer = new TableViewer(parent, SWT.FULL_SELECTION | SWT.BORDER);

        //table style

        GridData gridData = new GridData();

        gridData.horizontalAlignment = SWT.FILL;

        gridData.grabExcessHorizontalSpace = true;

        gridData.grabExcessVerticalSpace = true;

        gridData.verticalAlignment = SWT.FILL;

        gridData.heightHint = height;

 

        ormDataTableViewer.getTable().setLayoutData(gridData);

         ormDataTableViewer.getTable().setHeaderVisible(true);

        ormDataTableViewer.getTable().setLinesVisible(true);

 

        //table layout

        TableLayout tableLayout = new TableLayout();

 

        CellEditor[] cellEditors = new CellEditor[columns.length];

        for (int i = 0; i < columns.length; i++) {

            tableLayout.addColumnData(new ColumnWeightData(width / columns.length, true));

            TableViewerColumn tableViewerColumn = new TableViewerColumn(ormDataTableViewer, SWT.CENTER);

             TableColumn tableColumn = tableViewerColumn.getColumn();

            tableColumn.setText(columns[i]);

            tableColumn.setMoveable(true);

            if (i < columns.length - 1) {

                cellEditors[i] = new TextCellEditor(ormDataTableViewer.getTable());

            } else {

                tableViewerColumn.setEditingSupport(new ORMIndicatorEditingSupport(ormDataTableViewer));

            }

            ormDataTableViewer.getTable().getColumn(i).pack();

        }

 

        ormDataTableViewer.getTable().setLayout(tableLayout);

 

        if (editable) ormDataTableViewer.setCellEditors(cellEditors);
