问题
I am developing an RCP Application, and am using Nebula's NatTable for that. When it comes to selection, I am failing to understand how I am supposed to use it.
What I want is:
- I want to have entire Rows selected. I was able do that using the
RowOnlySelectionConfiguration
and theRowOnlySelectionBindings
. - If I select a row, I want the selection to stay there and not be cleared when some data in that row gets updated. How do I do that?
- If a row is selected, and the position of the element in that row changes (e.g. one of the previous elements is removed, and the position changes to index - 1), I want the selection to change the position with the element, so that the same element is selected after the change. How do I do that?
I have seen that the documentation talks about a PreserveSelectionModel
that can be used for that:
If you used the
PreserveSelectionStructuralChangeEventHandler
workaround in previous versions for not clearing the selection on structural changes, you will notice that this workaround will not work anymore. If you still need that behavior, you are now able to achieve the same by configuring and setting aSelectionModel
instance like this:SelectionModel model = new SelectionModel(selectionLayer); // configure to not clear the selection on structural changes model.setClearSelectionOnChange(false); selectionLayer.setSelectionModel(model);
If you expect that the selection should update and move with structural changes (e.g. sorting), try to use the
PreserveSelectionModel
.
https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/nandn/nandn_120.php
So I guess I have to use the PreserveSelectionModel
? But there I can't call setClearSelectionOnChange(false)
. Does it do that by default?
And how do I use the PreserveSelectionModel
? What do I pass in the constructor?
I implement my own BodyLayerStack, in a class called TableBodyLayerStack
, where I tried this in the constructor:
public TableBodyLayerStack(IUniqueIndexLayer underlyingLayer) {
super(underlyingLayer);
columnReorderLayer = new ColumnReorderLayer(underlyingLayer);
columnHideShowLayer = new ColumnHideShowLayer(columnReorderLayer);
selectionLayer = new SelectionLayer(columnHideShowLayer, null, true, false);
PreserveSelectionModel<?> selectionModel = new PreserveSelectionModel<>(
selectionLayer, null, null);
selectionLayer.setSelectionModel(selectionModel);
selectionLayer.registerEventHandler(new SelectEventHandler(selectionLayer));
viewportLayer = new ViewportLayer(selectionLayer);
setUnderlyingLayer(viewportLayer);
registerCommandHandler(new CopyDataCommandHandler(selectionLayer));
}
Then, in the contructor of my implementation of the GridLayer
, I do this:
// ...
bodyLayer = new TableBodyLayerStack(eventLayer);
// register different selection move command handler that always moves by row
bodyLayer.getSelectionLayer().addConfiguration(new RowOnlySelectionConfiguration<T>());
// register selection bindings that will perform row selections instead of cell selections
// registering the bindings on a layer that is above the SelectionLayer will consume the
// commands before they are handled by the SelectionLayer
bodyLayer.addConfiguration(new RowOnlySelectionBindings());
// ...
But this is giving me NullPointerExceptions in the PreserveSelectionModel
.

I guess it is because I pass null values in the constructor of my PreserveSelectionModel
. But how do I use it instead? What do I have to pass as arguments for the constructor? Where do I get the values from?
Any help is appreciated.
回答1:
you are on the wrong track to achieve your goals. First I will answer your questions:
-
So I guess I have to use the PreserveSelectionModel?
PreserveSelectionModel
is intended to preserve the selection for cell selections. You want to preserve the selection for whole rows. So you need to use the RowSelectionModel
.
-
But there I can't call setClearSelectionOnChange(false). Does it do that by default?
-
But this is giving me NullPointerExceptions in the PreserveSelectionModel. I guess it is because I pass null values in the constructor of my PreserveSelectionModel.
-
What do I have to pass as arguments for the constructor? Where do I get the values from?
IRowDataProvider<T>
, so it is the IDataProvider
for the body.
The third parameter is IRowIdAccessor<T>
. You need to create an implementation that provides an unique id, so a row can be identified without knowing the position or index in the underlying collection.
So what you need to do is something like this:
selectionLayer.setSelectionModel(new RowSelectionModel<Person>(
selectionLayer, bodyDataProvider, new IRowIdAccessor<Person>() {
@Override
public Serializable getRowId(Person rowObject) {
return rowObject.getId();
}
}));
But of course you need to provide the IDataProvider
and also the IRowIdAccessor
to your TableBodyLayerStack
if you want to keep it generic.
Also note that you don't have to call SelectionLayer#registerEventHandler() yourself! This is done internally by calling SelectionLayer#setSelectionModel().
You can find several examples in the NatTable Examples Application at https://www.eclipse.org/nattable/ (the Try it! button on the right side). For your question the Tutorial Examples -> Layers -> Selection -> RowSelectionExample seems to be the one to look at.
