I'm trying to learn how to enable cell editing in Nebula NatTable. I edited _301_CustomDataProviderExample::createExampleControl to show this feature:
@Override
public Control createExampleControl(Composite parent) {
//...
final NatTable natTable = new NatTable(parent, SWT.NO_BACKGROUND
| SWT.NO_REDRAW_RESIZE | SWT.DOUBLE_BUFFERED, bodyDataLayer, false);
natTable.addConfiguration(new DefaultNatTableStyleConfiguration());
natTable.addConfiguration(new AbstractRegistryConfiguration() {
@Override
public void configureRegistry(IConfigRegistry configRegistry) {
configRegistry.registerConfigAttribute(
EditConfigAttributes.CELL_EDITABLE_RULE,
IEditableRule.ALWAYS_EDITABLE);
}
});
natTable.configure();
return natTable;
}
But when run the example, I cannot edit the cells. What am I missing? Thanks!
Update: my solution for this case is:
bodyDataLayer.addConfiguration(new DefaultEditConfiguration());
bodyDataLayer.addConfiguration(new DefaultEditBindings());
Note: don't add those configurations to natTable cause of java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.NatTable cannot be cast to org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.layer.AbstractLayer
You are missing the necessary edit related configurations DefaultEditBindings
and DefaultEditConfiguration
, which will configure the editors and the bindings to react on user interaction.
This is explained in the documentation: https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/documentation.php?page=editing
