Dynamic treegrid context menus - gwt

Is there a way using the treegrid in gwt-ext to have different context menus for different rows?
For example I would like my leaf rows to have different menu options then my non-leaf rows, or at least be able to disable menu options when they aren't revelent to the row that was right clicked.

I created a solution for this problem:
When you create the leafs, you should set the property "type" to "leaf", and the others to "non-leaf".
BaseTreeModel base = new BaseTreeModel();
base.set("type", "leaf");
So, in the selectionChanged event of your tree, you put the verification, and create the menu only for your leafs.
*treePanel.getSelectionModel().addListener(Events.SelectionChange, new SelectionChangedListener<ModelData>() {
#Override
public void selectionChanged(SelectionChangedEvent<ModelData> data) {
BaseTreeModel selected = (BaseTreeModel) data.getSelectedItem();
if ("leaf".equals(selected .get("type").toString())) {
// create the Menu and set it to contextMenu of your tree
} else {
treePanel.setContextMenu(null);
}*

How to disable a Dynamic Menu Contribution parent in Eclipse 4 RCP Application

This question stems from
How to disable or enable a MMenu (not MMenuItem) in an Eclipse E4 application
I have been attempting to grey-out/disable an entire Dynamic Menu Contribution in Eclipse 4 when a condition is met in the application. The Dynamic Menu Contribution is itself in the File Menu Model Element. My workaround has been to remove all options so the menu does not show anything, but is still active (not-grey) when the condition is met with the code below for clearing the menu.
items.clear();
if (checkMenuEnabled()) {
Fillthemenu();
}
This code below doesn't seem to disable the dynamic menu contribution like I want it to.
MenuImpl menu = (MenuImpl) modelService.find("menuID", application.getChildren().get(0).getMainMenu());
menu.setEnabled(checkMenuEnabled());
Here is an image of the model xmi UI items. The File->Submenu is what I am trying to grey out. Not the individual Dynamic Menu Contribution Items.
Model XMI
Thanks
So in your e4xmi file, you have a "Menu" with a "Dynamic Menu Contribution" and you want to gray out some items in the menu on some application condition, right?
The "Dynamic Menu Contribution" is attached to some "class", right?
In this class, when you generate a disabled "menu":
public class <the class referenced in e4xml> {
#Inject private EModelService modelService;
#AboutToShow
public void aboutToShow(List<MMenuElement> items, {...}) {
MDirectMenuItem dynamicItem = modelService.createModelElement(MDirectMenuItem.class);
dynamicItem.setLabel(<some label>);
dynamicItem.setIconURI(<some icon URI>);
dynamicItem.setContributorURI("platform:/plugin/platform:/plugin/<nom plugin>");
dynamicItem.setContributionURI(<menu item handler> "bundleclass://<plugin name>/<menu item handler class>");
--> dynamicItem.setEnabled(true/false); to enable/grey out the menu
--> dynamicItem.setvisible(true/false); to show/hide the menu
// add one or many MDirectMenuItems ...
items.add(dynamicItem);
}
}
In the menu item handler ("setContributionURI" class) where you implement the logic of the menu item, you can also show/hide/enable/disable the menu item:
public class <menu item handler class> {
#Execute
public void execute({...}) {
<code linked to the menu item selection here>
}
#CanExecute
public boolean canExecute(#Optional MMenuItem menuItem, {...}) {
// implement the logic to show/hide, enable/disable the menu item
menuItem.setVisible(true/false); // show/hide the menu item
return true/false; // enable/grey out the menu item
}
}

How to capture the value of a cell of a TableViewer where a contextual menu has been activated in eclipse e4?

In one of my eclipse e4 application JMSToolBox, some data is displayed in aTableViewer
A contextual menu is defined in the e4 model file (e4xmi) and linked to theTableViewer like this
menuService.registerContextMenu(tableViwere.getTable(), <name of the e4 part menu>);
Attached to the contextual menu in the e4 model, a "menu item" is linked to a"Dynamic Menu Contribution" class that dynamically add the menu items to the menu:
public class VisualizerShowPayloadAsMenu {
#Inject private EModelService modelService;
#AboutToShow
public void aboutToShow(EModelService modelService, List<MMenuElement> items) {
// Not the real code..., illustrate adding a dynamic menu item to the contextual menu
MDirectMenuItem dynamicItem = modelService.createModelElement(MDirectMenuItem.class);
dynamicItem.setLabel(<name..>);
dynamicItem.setContributorURI(Constants.BASE_CORE_PLUGIN);// "platform:/plugin/org.titou10.jtb.core");
dynamicItem.setContributionURI(Constants.VISUALIZER_MENU_URI);// "bundleclass://org.titou10.jtb.core/org.titou10.jtb.visualizer.ui.VisualizerShowPayloadAsHandler");
items.add(dynamicItem);
}
Now, what I want to do is to capture the data in the underlying cell where the contextual menu has been activated, and get that value back in the method annotated by"#AboutToShow" in order
to addMDirectMenuItementries to the contextual menu with a label containing that value
Q: how to do that with eclipse rcp e4?
In the attached picture, the right click happened in the cell with content="ID:414d5120514d41414544202020202020ee4bb25612666920". I would like to get this value back in the #AboutToShowmethod and add menu items to the"Open Payload as..."menu based on that value
Thanks
I found a way to do it!
I'm not sure it is the best way, but at least it works and it is quite simple
The following code is here to illustrate the idea, it is not valid Java.
In the part that manage theTableViewer:
TableViewer tableViewer = new TableViewer(composite, SWT.BORDER | SWT.FULL_SELECTION | SWT.MULTI);
{...}
new TableViewerFocusCellManager(tableViewer, new JTBFocusCellHighlighter(tableViewer, windowContext));
JTBFocusCellHighlighterclass:
public class JTBFocusCellHighlighter extends FocusCellHighlighter {
private IEclipseContext windowContext;
private Table table;
public JTBFocusCellHighlighter(ColumnViewer viewer, IEclipseContext windowContext) {
super(viewer);
this.windowContext = windowContext;
this.table = ((TableViewer) viewer).getTable();
}
#Override
protected void focusCellChanged(ViewerCell newCell, ViewerCell oldCell) {
super.focusCellChanged(newCell, oldCell);
// Capture the content of the cell (or other info..) and store it in Eclipse Context
windowContext.set("key", newCell.getText());
TableColumn tableColumn = table.getColumn(newCell.getColumnIndex());
}
}
Real code implementation: JTBSessionContentViewPart , JTBFocusCellHighlighter and FilterMenu

GWT CellTable keep focus on selected row

When I select a row in a CellTable which contains several columns, the whole row gets colored in yellow. It does not depend on which area of the row I click (which column of the row).
What I try to do is to keep the selected row colored in yellow as long as no other row of this very table is selected. At the moment, as soon as I click somewhere else in the browser, the row gets back its original color.
I tried to use a selection model, but this changed nothing. Do you have any advise or is this simply not possible, since the focus is managed by the browser? The behavior is the same in the Google showcase for the CellTable...
The selection model actually does what you want to do: it paints a row blue and the row does not change color if you click elsewhere in the page. (Only when another row is selected)
There are 2 selection models:
One that lets you select only one row, and another one that lets you select multiple rows.
MultiSelectionModel<Row> selectionModel = new MultiSelectionModel<Row>();
table.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
SingleSelectionModel<Row> selectionModel = new SingleSelectionModel<Row>();
table.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
The solution of user905374 did actually work. I mentioned in my first post that I already tried the solution with a selectionModel and that it did not work. This was partially true. It does work, but only if the table does NOT contain a CheckboxCell.
Following a working and the not working example. I think this might be a bug, but I am not sure if I miss something.
final CellTable<LicenceDto> licenseTable = new CellTable<LicenceDto>();
final SingleSelectionModel<LicenceDto> selectionModel = new SingleSelectionModel<LicenceDto>();
licenseTable.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
//--- If I add this column, the selection does work.
Column<LicenceDto, String> workingColumn = new Column<LicenceDto, String>(new TextCell()) {
#Override
public String getValue(LicenceDto object) {
return "Works";
}
};
workingColumn.setFieldUpdater(new FieldUpdater<LicenceDto, String>() {
#Override
public void update(int index, LicenceDto object, String value) {
;
}
});
licenseTable.addColumn(workingColumn);
//--- If I add this column, the selection does NOT work anymore.
Column<LicenceDto, Boolean> notWorkingColumn = new Column<LicenceDto, Boolean>(new CheckboxCell(true, true)) {
#Override
public Boolean getValue(LicenceDto object) {
return object.getEnabled();
}
};
notWorkingColumn.setFieldUpdater(new FieldUpdater<LicenceDto, Boolean>() {
#Override
public void update(int index, LicenceDto object, Boolean value) {
presenter.enableLicense(object, value);
}
});
licenseTable.addColumn(notWorkingColumn);
You can even combine multiple cells and add them to the table (e.g. LinkActionCell etc). As long as there is no CheckboxCell, the blue selection with the SingleSelectionModel does work like a charm. Does anyone see what I do wrong with this CheckboxCell or is there a bug?
UPDATE
It was simply a usage error of me. The problem was that I set handlesSelection to true (second parameter of the CheckboxCell constructor) even thought I don't handle anything. Setting it to false solves the problem.
Bottomline: Use a selection model (e.g. SingleSelectionModel) and do not set the handlesSelection parameter to true of the CheckboxCell constructor to true, if you don't handle the selection by yourself.
You should observe the Showcase demo again. This time use the checkbox on the left most column i.e the first column. On selection the row turns blue indicating the row selection is made. This is when you have SelectionModel set up. Click on the page anywhere outside the CellTable/DataGrid the selection is not changed.
Now, instead of choosing the row via checkbox from first column, you click on a row in any other column. The row turns yellow. Click on the page anywhere outside the CellTable/DataGrid the focus/yellow is lost.
"colored in yellow" indicates row is under focus and being edited and not selected.
Note - you can force row selection by using click events per cell.
Try something like this:
CellTable table;
YourDataObject object = new YourDataObject(...);
SingleSelectionModel<YourDataObject> selectionModel =
new SingleSelectionModel<YourDataObject>();
table.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
...
table.setSelected(object, true);
Use MultiSelectionModel if you wish more than one line to be highlighted.
Store the selected row's index. When user selects row, change row's style to some "selected-style" appropriate for your case (defined in your css file) and remove selected style from the previously selected row. Also don't forget to update selected row's index.
If you provide some code from the original version I help you out with some code with pleasure.

Disable selection change in JFace TreeViewer

I have a TreeViewer in my view. Whenever I press a button (say s), the viewer selects the first item in the tree starting with this letter (say stackoverflow). Is there a way to disable this behaviour?
Thank you.
Restricting all key events on Tree looks promising but you would loose navigating the tree structure and expand/collapse on tree node and all other functionality.
tree.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
#Override
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
e.doit = false;
}
});

setting a default text to a GWT ListBox

I am trying to create a ListBox using GWT. I am using UiBinder to create the field.
I would like to set a default text on the list box and when a user clicks on the box, it should show me the list items. Once again, if user has not selected any option, it should show me the default text again.
Any way to do this either using Uibinder or some ListBox methods?
If I understand correctly you want a value to show but when the user clicks on the list it disappears and shows you the list items?
As far as I know there is no option to that natively.
What you can do is add the first item to hold your default value.
You can do this grammatically by using addItem in code or using:
<g:Listbox>
<g:item value="-1">Default text</g:item>
</g:Listbox>
works with gwt 2.1+
The value can still be selected.
You can choose to ignore it or add an attribute "disabled" with value "disabled" to the option element:
listbox.getElement().getFirstChildElement().setAttribute("disabled" ,"disabled" )
hope it helps a bit :)
You can also use a renderer to control what is shown if 'Null' is selected.
(Inspired by: How do I add items to GWT ListBox in Uibinder .ui.xml template ?)
private class SimpleRenderer implements Renderer<T>{
private String emptyValue = "Select a value";
#Override
public String render(T val) {
if(val == null) {
return emptyValue;
}
return val.toString();
}
#Override
public void render(T val, Appendable appendable) throws IOException {
appendable.append(render(val));
}
public void setEmptyValue(String emptyValue) {
this.emptyValue = emptyValue;
}
}
