Does anybody know why the CellModifier interface doesn't work in a tableViewer used in a Dialog? I have a tableviewer, and when I attach a cellmodifier to it, it doesn't even call the canModify method. I believe this is a bug with JFace.

Hi,
Although u have set cell modifier to a tableViewer, u have to set cell editors and column properties to the table viewer, so that the cell modifier will work for the selection of a cell.

Yes, I have that code in place as well. Yet it doesn't work in a class that extends Dialog. It works in my other classes.

maybe check these factors when you are using ICellModifer:
1. you need create TextCellEditor for each column
2. canModify（Object element, String property）method should return true
3. modify(Objecr element, String property, Object value) should process the certain cell data, to do some modify, I suggest to use ArrayList, it could be easier.
4. you should set this modifier to certain TableView

In a word, if there is one mistake in the upper steps, it will leads the consequence which can't work. I tried some times after I set all these thing ready, I didn't see your problem. Wish it could be helpful.

My point is that canModify method never gets called. I made sure that TextCellEditor is set for every column in the TableViewer.
