How to make part of a TreeViewer cell bold?

Question

I currently want to write an Eclipse editor based on JFace TreeViewer. I added CellLabelProviderin TreeViewer. If I set the font of the cell using the method update CellLabelProviderto bold, the shortcut will be in bold.

But I want only part of the label to be in bold. Therefore, I apply StyleRangeto the cell. The selected colors in "StyleRange" work fine, but the bold font StyleRangedoesn't work.

Why is this and how to fix it?

Answer 1

You probably need to use a tag-based provider StyledCellLabelProvider.

DelegatingStyledCellLabelProvider , , DelegatingStyledCellLabelProvider.IStyledLabelProvider.

public StyledString getStyledText(Object element);

StyledString .

  class BoldFontStyler extends Styler {                                                                  
    @Override
    public void applyStyles(final TextStyle textStyle)
    {
        FontDescriptor boldDescriptor = FontDescriptor.createFrom(new FontData()).setStyle(SWT.BOLD);
        Font boldFont = boldDescriptor.createFont(Display.getCurrent());
        textStyle.font = boldFont;
    }
}

StyledString #getStyledText().
