ICellModifier (Eclipse Platform API Specification)

```
public interface ICellModifier
```
A cell modifier is used to access the data model from a cell editor in an abstract way. It offers methods to:
- to check if a a model element's property can be edited or not
- retrieve a value a model element's property
- to store a cell editor's value back into the model element's property
This interface should be implemented by classes that wish to act as cell modifiers.

  - canModify
```
boolean canModify(Object element,
                  String property)
```
    Checks whether the given property of the given element can be modified.
    
    Parameters:
    
    element - the element
    
    property - the property
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the property can be modified, and false if it is not modifiable
  - getValue
```
Object getValue(Object element,
                String property)
```
    Returns the value for the given property of the given element. Returns null if the element does not have the given property.
    
    Parameters:
    
    element - the element
    
    property - the property
    
    Returns:

  - modify
```
void modify(Object element,
            String property,
            Object value)
```
    Modifies the value for the given property of the given element. Has no effect if the element does not have the given property, or if the property cannot be modified.
    Note that it is possible for an SWT Item to be passed instead of the model element. To handle this case in a safe way, use:
    
    if (element instanceof Item) { element = ((Item) element).getData(); } // modify the element's property here
    Parameters:
    
    element - the model element or SWT Item (see above)
    
    property - the property
    
    value - the new property value
