I have different controls placed on a table using TableEditor.

...
TableItem [] items = table.getItems ();
for (int i=0; i<items.length; i++) {
	TableEditor editor = new TableEditor (table);
	final Text text1 = new Text (table, SWT.NONE);
	text1.setText(listSimOnlyComponents.get(i).getName());
	text1.setEditable(false);
	editor.grabHorizontal = true;
	editor.setEditor(text1, items[i], 0);

	editor = new TableEditor (table);
	final CCombo combo1 = new CCombo (table, SWT.NONE);
	combo1.setText("");
	Set<String> comps = mapComponentToPort.keySet();
	for(String comp:comps)
	    combo1.add(comp);
	editor.grabHorizontal = true;
	editor.setEditor(combo1, items[i], 1);
} //end of for
...

When I try to get the text on the table using getItem(i).getText, I get empty string

...
TableItem [] items = table.getItems ();
for(int i=0; i<items.length; i++) {
	TableItem item = items[i];
	String col0text = items[i].getText(0);  //this text is empty
	String col1text = items[i].getText(1);  //this text is empty
}
...

Why does getText returns empty strings even when I have text appearing on the table?
