Question

I have one table with 3 rows and 3 columns. Now I want to add 2 row’s 2nd columns cell’s control. That means whether that is text or combox in the cell. How do I get the 2nd row’s 2nd column and remove the compoenent dynamically in SWT JFace?

Answer 1

Do you use a TableViewer?

The SWT-way of getting to the item is indexed first by row, than by column.
Getting the text of the third column in the second row is done like this:

table.getItem(1).getText(2);

To display custom-controls, like a combobox you will have to either paint it manually or use SWT’s TableEditor.
