SWT table increment selection

I am using a swt table and have implemented an selectionListener:

table.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
    @Override
    public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent event) {
       //...
    }
});

I click on the first item and the listener works!

Now, after pressing a button, I want to select the next item in the table automaticaly. I have tried:

table.setFocus();
table.select(table.getSelectionIndex() + 1);

and

table.setFocus();
table.setSelection(table.getSelectionIndex() + 1);

The selection changes (blue color), but the selectionListener does not react?!

Maybe you can help me with this issue.

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards

That's by design (cf. this).

What you can do is the following:

table.setSelection(1);
table.notifyListeners(SWT.Selection, new Event());

Or even this:

table.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
    @Override
    public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent event) {
       methodCallHere();
    }
});

and then

table.setSelection(1);
methodCallHere();
