How to set selection in a TableViewer to a specified index?

Question

I have a TableViewer in a view of my RCP application. The TableViewer has a List of objects as input. Is it possible to make a selection for a particular object using the index of the object in the List that I set as input to the TableViewer? For example, I want to set a default selection to the third object every time I open my application. How do I set that selection?

Answer 1

Found the answer!

int selection = 5; //row we want to select
tableViewer.setSelection(new StructuredSelection(tableViewer.getElementAt(selection)),true);
