TableEditor derives from ControlEditor.
TableEditor belongs to a cell.
Use the setters for row and column to set the cell, like this:
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(myTable);
editor.setEditor(myControl);
editor.setItem(myItem);
editor.setColumn(myColumn);
You can also use TableEditor's new setEditor() method that takes three parameters-an editor,
an item, and a column-to set everything in one call, like this:
TableEditor editor = new TableEditor(myTable);
editor.setEditor(myControl, myItem, myColumn);
