IColorProvider pls

[allawy]

Eric;

The 200-300 USD (don't recall) I paid for SWT-Designer turn out to be the best deal I have ever made in my life, you product has changed my life.

As you always suprise us with wonderful stuff, I would like to suggest a small code enhancment, please add the ability to implement IColorProvider with the content provider, I know it's as silly as I can add it myself manually, but still

another thing, while I can use echo in text field, there is a special style to make the field a password field.

is there any time frame regarding eclipse form designer? is it going to be under SWT-designer lic.? or different lic? like the swing designer?

Thanks for the wonderful work and support, I will boom you soon with more requests.

Wow. Thanks!

OK. I'll take a look at that.

The time frame is still up in the air. It's a lot of work, but it's also a fairly high priority. As to the licensing, my initial reaction is that it is a major enhancement to SWT Designer (and WindowBuilder). I don't see it as a new product.

Thanks!

here is my new request...

it's so simple...

at least I hope so...

say I have a TableViewer (that has columns "Name","Age","Avg."), when adding the Label Provider can SWTD format getColumnText() to be like this.

Code: Select all


public String getColumnText(Object element, int columnIndex) {

    String colName = tableViewer.getTable().getColumn(columnIndex).getText();

    if(colName.equals("Name")){
        return "";
    }


    if(colName.equals("Age")){
        return "";
    }


    if(colName.equals("Avg.")){
        return "";
    }

    return "";
}

of course this will have some extra hidden code to check after the column name if they where reNamed.

Why is this important? well, simply you don't have to check column No. and names anymore while coding,the other thing is,sometimes the user want only some information to show, and other to hide, this means killing or recreating columns, this way is safer since the provider know exactly which column to fill with what content.

I hope this make sence, and it turn out to be useful.

Thanks for your time.

Done. There is a new preference to control whether LabelProviders implement IColorProvider. This will be in the next v2.0.1 build.

another thing, while I can use echo in text field, there is a special style to make the field a password field.

Also done.

There are a couple of problems with this approach as I see them.

1) It assumes that the "tableViewer" is a field
2) It presents added complications when either the number of columns or the labels on the columns changes
3) It's not NLS friendly

It would be easy to generate the initial code for this approach, but it would be a pain keeping it updated to reflect changes in the table.

I can't see why it shouldn't always be.

I agree

Yes, I though it would be easy in a way, but I wouldn't spend time on it, I would spend time on forms!forms!forms! I want them .

Anyway, it's not a big deal, it wouldn't take more than 1-3 min. to generate that code manaully for around 10 columns, which is avg. I guess.



Thanks
