Description
Mike Wilson
Note that sort indicators have been implemented recently. Ben Please consider adding bug #24697 into 3.2 development stream https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24697 Animated GIF support would be really apreciated. Or some animated componet which would simlify the task of animation. can you fix bug #80687 whily you are working on this bug? Please consider Bug 22261 for this plan item. In enterprise applications you have quite a few situations where you really need tristate checkboxes. A common example is a table with multiselection style where you have to provide an edit dialog for this multiselection. This dialog is driven by two requirements: 1. You must be able to edit multiple items in one action. Nobody wants to click through 20 rows just to edit a value for 20 items to a common value. 2. If you want to edit items in a tables with a large number of columns, cellediting is really unhandy so you need a dialog. All values that are equal in all selected items can be displayed, the others not (-> Tristate for checkboxes). How about bug #83406 ? it's badly needed for IM applications.
