TableViewer JFace / SWT multiline tables

Question

Is it possible to get a multi-line (say, 2-line) row in a JFace tableViewer? I want my long piece of text to spread between two lines, and my short lines align vertically in the cell. How can I achieve this result?

Answer 1

Table control itself does not support this. You will have to draw the contents of these cells yourself. In this case, the official example (Snippet006TableMultiLineCells) on how to do this.
