Hi Chun,
We have struggled with this as well in our application. The
quick answer, is: yes, the TableView uses the components to just render the
data for display when not in “edit” mode. Then the components are instantiated
and enabled when you start editing, etc. That is the purpose of the
TableViewRowEditor interface. You can get some things to work (such as
checkboxes) using a custom mouse listener, but edit controls are a whole
different thing, and won’t work to directly edit. There is a new style for
TableView called “editOnMouseDown” (poorly documented, though), that helps with
this. Setting this style “true” means that edit mode starts with just a single
mouse click instead of a double click.
Having said all that, if you have ideas as to how this could be
improved, we’re open to suggestions. I still have open bug reports in our
application because of this ;)
Thanks,
~Roger Whitcomb

Subject: about adding a button UI in apache pivot TableView row
I'm trying to insert clickable UI controls into a pivot TableView. I chose to
use TableView instead of TablePane because it can easily load data via an data
array from json.
I need the user to be able to click on buttons and other UI controls without
putting a single row first into 'row edit' mode. I used a custom CellRenderer,
but the rendered buttons are not clickable.
I wonder if there is something that automatically blocks interactive UI in a
tableview that is not in 'edit' mode?
