Progress bar in the Table Viewer

Use Case:

If you want to show a progress bar with in the Table viewer and it should represent what percentage of job has finished.

May be you want to show something like this:

Solution:
We should implement the OwnerDrawLabelProvider on the particular column where you want to show the progress bar.

OwnerDrawLabelProvider: Is an abstract implementation of a label provider that handles custom draw. So this can be used to implement progress bar in the table viewer.

Let's take the example:

//Table viewer
tableViewer = new TableViewer(composite, SWT.FULL_SELECTION | SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.H_SCROLL);
  reportTable = tableViewer.getTable();
  reportTable.setVisible(true);
  reportTable.setLinesVisible(true);
  reportTable.setHeaderVisible(true);
  reportTable.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL, GridData.FILL, true, true));

//Progress bar column
TableViewerColumn progressColumn = new TableViewerColumn(tableViewer, SWT.CENTER);
  progressColumn.getColumn().setText(""); //$NON-NLS-1$
  progressColumn.getColumn().setWidth(150);
  progressColumn.getColumn().setToolTipText("Percentage");

//set progress bar lable provider on the progresbar column
progressColumn.setLabelProvider(new ProgressLabelProvider(tableViewer));

//Implemention of OwnerDrawLabelProvider

         gc.setForeground(Display.getDefault().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_LIST_FOREGROUND));
         String text = percentage + "%";
         Point size = event.gc.textExtent(text);
         int offset = Math.max(0, (event.height - size.y) / 2);
         gc.drawText(text, event.x + 2, event.y + offset, true);
         gc.setForeground(background);
         gc.setBackground(foreground);
