Hello,

I am developing an Eclipse RCP application and am trying to format the text in my tableviewer view.

Here is a mockup of what I want:


I want the bold text to be the title of the item and be in a bigger font. Then I want the description below that in a smaller font and in italics.

The closest I've been able to come so far is using a tableviewer and tableviewlabelprovider:


But that only gives me a getColumnText method that returns a string with no formatting. Any pointers on how I could achieve the mockup?

Thanks,
-Michael

As the tableviewer use the labelprovider to set the string, there’s no method provided for the font change.
For this case, I suggest you use TableItem instead, which provides the setFont(int index, Font font) method.
You could also use the composite to achieve.
As below, many kinds of effect could be generated freely.
