Hi,

We have a tableviewer which we use for editing tabular data. This
viewer has Editing Support attached to it. Now the problem is, i can't
select multiple rows in this table. I have tried passing the style
SWT.MULTI to table, but that didn't worked. Whenever i click on a
cell, it just selects that particular cell and there is no effect of
using SHIFT or CTRL keys to select multiple rows.

Do you know if this is a bug in TableViewer editing or there is
another technique to do this ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Mustufa,

have you tried the style SWT.FULL_SELECTION? That worked fine for my TableViewer, but I'm not providing table cell editing, so it might be slightly different.

Hi,
As per my experience, if a table or tree viewer uses editing support, it will not be able to have multi selection support. Instead of using editing support, you set CellModifiers and CellEditors manually to the viewer without using the editing support. and the multiple selection will work(It worked fine for me). But the only dis-advantage is, u cannot have double click editing activation in this way. But I compromised this in my application by providing editing activation for clicking on the cell twice(not double click). I used canModify method in the CellModifier to make the editing available for the second click, and the first click for selection. If u cannot compromise in this way means, u have to compromise the inavailbility of multiple selection using the editing support. If there is any other way without compromising any of these things means it is most welcome, because I'm very much eager to know it.
