Eclipse SWT: Disabling selection event in a Table

Sometimes we do not want users to be able to select cells or rows in the tables, but the standard styles for SWT Table widget do not give a NOSELECTION option.

This, however, can be easily achieved by masking the selection event, Just use the following piece of code for creating your tables:

final Table table = new Table(group, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.BORDER);
table.addListener(SWT.EraseItem, new Listener() {
    public void handleEvent(Event event) {
        if((event.detail & SWT.SELECTED) != 0 ){
            event.detail &= ~SWT.SELECTED;
        }
    }
});
