getLayoutData

public 
CellEditor.LayoutData getLayoutData()
The ComboBoxCellEditor implementation of this CellEditor framework method sets the minimum width of the cell. The minimum width is 10 characters if comboBox is not null or disposed else it is 60 pixels to make sure the arrow button and some text is visible.

value - the zero-based index of the selection wrapped as an Integer
See Also:
CellEditor.setValue(java.lang.Object)

focusLost

protected void focusLost()
Description copied from class: CellEditor
Processes a focus lost event that occurred in this cell editor.

The default implementation of this framework method applies the current value and deactivates the cell editor. Subclasses should call this method at appropriate times. Subclasses may also extend or reimplement.

Overrides:
focusLost in class CellEditor

keyReleaseOccured

protected void keyReleaseOccured(
KeyEvent keyEvent)
Description copied from class: CellEditor
Processes a key release event that occurred in this cell editor.

The default implementation of this framework method cancels editing when the ESC key is pressed. When the RETURN key is pressed the current value is applied and the cell editor deactivates. Subclasses should call this method at appropriate times. Subclasses may also extend or reimplement.

Overrides:
keyReleaseOccured in class CellEditor
Parameters:
keyEvent - the key event

activate

public void activate(
ColumnViewerEditorActivationEvent activationEvent)
Description copied from class: CellEditor
Activate the editor but also inform the editor which event triggered its activation. The default implementation simply calls CellEditor.activate()

Overrides:
activate in class CellEditor
