The method getColumnIndexOfLastSelection() should return the the last selected column index as integer. It works correct if the Grid has several rows and you change the row-selection at the same time while you click to a certain gridcell. But if gridcells within the same row are selected in sequence via single mouse-click, then getColumnIndexOfLastSelection() returns with -1 or with the column-index that was selected while the last row selection. Can getColumnIndexOfLastSelection() work independent of the row selection ?

Hi,

the demo workplace's text tells about the background:

Code:

 ...
 And, please note: the default behaviour of the grid is, that once a row was selected the next selection is not passed to the server side. You can override this default behaviour by using the attribute FIXGRID-RESELECTABLE. If you want your user to select different columns, one after the other, within the same grid, you need to swt FIXGRID-RESELECTABLE to "true".
 ...

The grid always a bit has the dilemma: do not send too many info in order to avoid roundtrips.

Once again:

OK, Thank you very much. It works.
