Class ControlDecorationProvider

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.nattable.edit.editor.ControlDecorationProvider
public class ControlDecorationProvider extends Object
This class adds support for adding a ControlDecoration to the editor controls of a ICellEditor. It is currently only used by the TextCellEditor.

The default location for the ControlDecoration is the top right of the editor. If the editor is located such that the ControlDecoration would not be visible here (i.e. cell is at/extends beyond the right edge of the NatTable) then the decoration is placed at the top left of the editor.

The location can be overridden, in which case the above behaviour does not get used.
