I try to use ComboxBoxTableCell without success.
The content of the cell display the right value for the attribute of an object. But when the combobox is displayed, all items are displayed with the toString object method and not the attribute.
I tryed to override updateItem of ComboBoxTableCell or to provide a StringConverter but nothing works.
Do you have some ideas to custom comboxbox list display in a table cell ?
I put a short example below to see quickly the problem. Execute the app and click in the cell, you will see the combobox with toString value of the object.
