Is it possible to add a Remove button to a cell in a table?
I have a table with 5 columns, I would like to add a 6th column. I want the 6th column to have a remove button in each row.
Example Row:
| 10002 | part | Metal | 001 | Yes | Remove |
That way the user can remove any unwanted rows by just clicking the button.
I have a markup column in the table and it is ComboBox. I created a class that extends EditingSupport.
Would I need to make a another class extending EditingSupport, but creating a button instead of ComboBox?
EDIT
public class AplotDataTableViewer extends TableViewer
{
public AplotDataTableViewer(Composite parent, int style)
{
super(parent, style);
Table table = getTable();
GridData gridData = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true);
table.setLayoutData(gridData);
createColumns();
table.setHeaderVisible(true);
table.setLinesVisible(true);
setContentProvider(new ArrayContentProvider());
}
private void createColumns() {
String[] titles = { "ItemId", "RevId", "PRL", "Dataset Name", "EC Markup" };
int[] bounds = { 150, 150, 100, 150, 100 };
TableViewerColumn col = createTableViewerColumn(titles[0], bounds[0], 0);
col.setLabelProvider(new ColumnLabelProvider() {
public String getText(Object element) {
if(element instanceof AplotDataModel.AplotDatasetData)
return ((AplotDataModel.AplotDatasetData)element).getDataset().toString();
return super.getText(element);
}
});
col = createTableViewerColumn(titles[1], bounds[1], 1);
col.setLabelProvider(new ColumnLabelProvider() {
public String getText(Object element) {
if(element instanceof AplotDataModel.AplotDatasetData)
return ((AplotDataModel.AplotDatasetData)element).getRev().toString();
return super.getText(element);
}
});

return ((AplotDataModel.AplotDatasetData)element).getPRLValue().toString();
return super.getText(element);
}
});

col.setEditingSupport(new OptionEditingSupport(this));
}
private TableViewerColumn createTableViewerColumn(String header, int width, int idx)
{
TableViewerColumn column = new TableViewerColumn(this, SWT.LEFT, idx);
column.getColumn().setText(header);
column.getColumn().setWidth(width);
column.getColumn().setResizable(true);
column.getColumn().setMoveable(true);
return column;
}
}
EDIT
col = createTableViewerColumn(titles[5], bounds[5], 5);
col.setLabelProvider(new ColumnLabelProvider() {
@Override
public void update(ViewerCell cell) {
TableItem item = new TableItem(getTable(),SWT.NONE);
Button button = new Button(getTable(),SWT.NONE);
button.setText("X");
getControl().setBackground(item.getBackground());
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(getTable());
editor.grabHorizontal = true;
editor.grabVertical = true;
editor.setEditor(button , item, columnIndex);
editor.layout();
}
});
Here is sample working version.
public class TableEditorTest {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
TableViewer viewer = new TableViewer(shell);
viewer.getTable().setHeaderVisible(true);
viewer.getTable().setLinesVisible(true);
viewer.setContentProvider(new ArrayContentProvider());
TableColumn column = new TableColumn(viewer.getTable(), SWT.NONE);
column.setText("First Name");
column.setWidth(100);
TableViewerColumn firstNameCol = new TableViewerColumn(viewer, column);
firstNameCol.setLabelProvider(new ColumnLabelProvider(){
@Override
public String getText(Object element) {
Person p = (Person)element;
return p.getFirstName();
}
});
column = new TableColumn(viewer.getTable(), SWT.NONE);
column.setText("Last Name");
column.setWidth(100);
TableViewerColumn lastNameCol = new TableViewerColumn(viewer, column);
lastNameCol.setLabelProvider(new ColumnLabelProvider(){
@Override
public String getText(Object element) {
Person p = (Person)element;
return p.getLastName();
}
});
column = new TableColumn(viewer.getTable(), SWT.NONE);
column.setText("Actions");
column.setWidth(100);
TableViewerColumn actionsNameCol = new TableViewerColumn(viewer, column);
actionsNameCol.setLabelProvider(new ColumnLabelProvider(){
//make sure you dispose these buttons when viewer input changes
Map<Object, Button> buttons = new HashMap<Object, Button>();
@Override
public void update(ViewerCell cell) {
TableItem item = (TableItem) cell.getItem();
Button button;
if(buttons.containsKey(cell.getElement()))
{
button = buttons.get(cell.getElement());
}
else
{
button = new Button((Composite) cell.getViewerRow().getControl(),SWT.NONE);
button.setText("Remove");
buttons.put(cell.getElement(), button);
}
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(item.getParent());
editor.grabHorizontal = true;
editor.grabVertical = true;
editor.setEditor(button , item, cell.getColumnIndex());
editor.layout();
}
});
Person p1 = new Person();
p1.setFirstName("George");
p1.setLastName("Burne");
Person p2 = new Person();
p2.setFirstName("Adam");
p2.setLastName("Silva");
Person p3 = new Person();
p3.setFirstName("Nathan");
p3.setLastName("Cowl");
List<Person> persons = new ArrayList<Person>();
persons.add(p1);
persons.add(p2);
persons.add(p3);
viewer.setInput(persons);
shell.open();
while(!shell.isDisposed())
{
if(!display.readAndDispatch())
{
display.sleep();
}
}
display.dispose();
}
private static class Person
{
String firstName;
String lastName;
Person()
{
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}
}
In addition to the answer from @sambi.reddy there is a comment that says - "make sure you dispose these buttons when viewer input changes". This is what I had to do to get that part working.
The framework I used had an implementation of IStructuredContentProvider, so in the overridden inputChanged(...), i had to put in the following code:-
@Override
public void inputChanged(Viewer viewer, Object oldInput, Object newInput) {
// This will dispose of all the control button that were created previously
if (((TableViewer)viewer).getTable() != null && ((TableViewer)viewer).getTable().getChildren() != null) {
for (Control item : ((TableViewer)viewer).getTable().getChildren()) {
// at this point there are no other controls embedded in the viewer, however different instances may require more checking of the controls here.
if ((item != null) && (!item.isDisposed())) {
item.dispose();
}
}
}
}
This works fine, except if you have a refresh table (ie. viewer.setInput(List)) call as the result of you button action. When I added this the following line sometimes returned buttons that still existed, but were being disposed:
if(buttons.containsKey(cell.getElement()))
So I needed to update this line to be:
if (buttons.containsKey(cell.getElement()) && !buttons.get(cell.getElement()).isDisposed())
Which resulted in any disposing buttons being recreated, if they were still required.
One important thing to the chosen answer is that you should not create an instance of TableEditor on every update method call it will slow down the performance or even make the application unresposnive.
@Override
public void update(ViewerCell cell) {
TableItem item = (TableItem) cell.getItem();
Button button;
if(buttons.containsKey(cell.getElement()))
{
button = buttons.get(cell.getElement());
}
else
{
button = new Button((Composite) cell.getViewerRow().getControl(),SWT.NONE);
button.setText("Remove");
buttons.put(cell.getElement(), button);
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(item.getParent());
editor.grabHorizontal = true;
editor.grabVertical = true;
editor.setEditor(button , item, cell.getColumnIndex());
editor.layout();
}
}
Below code should work for you
TableItem item = (TableItem) item;
Button button = new Button(table,swt.none);
button.setText("Remove");
control.setBackground(item.getBackground());
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(table);
editor.grabHorizontal = true;
editor.grabVertical = true;
editor.setEditor(button , item, columnIndex);
editor.layout();
