If you have a suggested implementation feel free to append it to this Bug.
Comment 2 Tobias Weih CLA 2004-10-13 09:33:59 EDT 
i finally managed coupling those two with CellEditors, spreadsheet-nav, blabla.

++ i uploaded the src: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?
group_id=35889
check out the tableviewer-example.



problem left the TableCursor still receives KeyDowns and MouseEvents if a 
TableCellEditor is activated.
this has to be avoided since (i.e.) when navigating a ComboBoxCellEditor the 
TableCursor
should not move.


doing somthing like

 new MyTableCursor extends TableCursor {
     void keyDown(Event event) { ... }
     void tableMouseDown(Event event) { ... }
   ...       }  does not work since the methods are not overrideable.

a 'copy/paste-emulatation' of the TableCursor-constructor for setting different 
listeners is ugly, not
version-proof and (stupid me) not possible, since its not possible to call 
super.super() for Canvas.

so, the only chance I see is to reimplement full TableCursor by Copy&Paste. But 
thats not cool.

Is this coming along soon? We have a commercial product that is in dire need 
of this support. Thank you!

There is overlap between this bug and bug 75114.

This bug is resolved with the implemetation given in #142655 so I think it can be marked as duplicate and closed or do I miss the point?
