SWT. How to create Composite object witout parent

Question

Hi, I write a project in Java using SWT. I would create temporary container for some controls. How to create composite control without parent object?

Sincerely, mykhaylo

Answer 1

You can't, a Composite is a widget and needs a parrent, but you can create it on a Shell you will never open(), then use setParrent when you'll want to display it.

Answer 2

One other option would be to create it in such a way that it cannot be seen, i.e. visible=false and excluded from layout, etc.
