I have inherited development of a Java/SWT application running on Windows only. One of the feature requests that I need to scope is a Google-chrome-type title bar in place of the SWT windows title bar. The application's tabs appear at the same level as the window control buttons. My understanding is that I will need to: write a Win...
There are a couple of "advanced" table/spreadsheet SWT widgets out there (Nattable, Nebula Grid), but none of them support really large datasets. Nattable is the one which comes closest, but it still has limitations in the datatypes it uses causing the number of rows in the table to become far to limited. I need to be able to represent ...
I have an interesting aspect to submit to your attention. I am pretty sure the solution to this will prove to be very easy, and yet... i am unable to find it. Here it is what i did : i've drawed a Group on top of a Shell, and i've used this code : String message = "My message"; Image img = ....//some image group.addListener(SWT.P...
Is there a way to create a "standalone" scrollbar in SWT? I would like to have a scrollbar which I have full control over myself and use it to control the contents of another widget in a way which isn't possible with the "built-in" scrollbars in the Table widget, for example. ...
I've called gc.setAntialias(SWT.ON); and it does nothing. According to that method, it should work. The Javadoc states: Sets the receiver's anti-aliasing value to the parameter, which must be one of SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.OFF or SWT.ON. It's not working for me, and I'm painting on a simple Canvas. ...
Hi, I have a global filter (Display.addFilter) in SWT in which I want to detect Enter key. In Windows, pressing Enter generates SWT.CR in 'keyCode' part of KeyListener event. Is this assumption safe for all platforms, or should I check if keyCode == SWT.CR || keyCode == SWT.LF? Thanks. ...
I'm new to GWT development and I'm putting myself through the paces with Google's tutorial but I'm getting errors: java[10574:80f] [Java CocoaComponent compatibility mode]: Enabled 2009-11-06 15:27:38.769 java[10574:80f] [Java CocoaComponent compatibility mode]: Setting timeout for SWT to 0.100000 I checked my Java prefs and I ha...
I am trying to draw some shapes (boxed ans arrows) into, i.e., "over" the text in an eclipse editor. To get started, I wrote the following code: IWorkbenchPage activePage = Activator.getDefault().getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage(); final Shell shell2 = activePage.getActiveEditor().getSite().getShell(); ...

I understand that this may be impossible, but I would sure like to know if somebody has accomplished this, or have a work-around. I have an SWT Button and am wanting to overwrite an existing JPanel's contents with just the Button being present. My current strategy is to have the SWT Button as an initial null field and then set it throug...
We have a monitoring application built on swt and running on linux. we have few buttons and a dynamic part that changes as we click on these buttons. The problem is that if some ones click too rapidly the cpu could reach 100% and hanging forever. We observed this rapid cpu spikes only on Ubuntu Linux where as windows it runs without on i...
How would you go about displaying huge amount of rows in SWT table? Huge is something above 20K rows, 20 columns. Don't ask me why I need to show that much data, it's not the point. The point is how to make it work as fast as possible so that end user won't get bored waiting. Each row displays an instance of some object, columns are its ...
I am looking into using the SWT Win32 Extension. I downloaded the extension jar files, and the example code. However, I couldn't find how to run the example. When I run the application with their jnlp file, it runs. When I looked into the file, I saw that they specify their main class as org.sf.feeling.swt.win32.extension.example.Exampl...
I'm am looking for online tutorials/books, which assume a solid knowledge of OOP/Design patterns concepts and stress on differences (both conceptional and syntactical) between C++ and Java thus allowing for a rapid development in the latter. Thank you very much in advance, appreciate your time. ...
SWT is designed to be cross-platform, so it can run on a Mac. The problem is it commits the cardinal sin of Macland - it's UGLY. Toolbars don't look like Mac toolbars, status bars don't look like Mac status bars, etc. Does anyone have any experience in making an SWT application look more like a Mac application? For example, by making...
Using standalone SWT Scrollbars is something of a hack (using this workaround), but it can be done. Here's a snippet: ScrolledComposite scrolledComposite = new ScrolledComposite( parent, SWT.V_SCROLL); ScrollBar scrollbar = scrolledComposite.getVerticalBar(); Shell tip = new Shell(UserInterface.getShell(), SWT.ON_TOP | SWT.NO_FO...
Hello, I used the IHyperlinkListener class to implment links on a composite. The linkActivated() was called correctly when I did a mouse click on the Windows OS. However, when I did a mouse click on SLED11, linkActivated() is not called during the first time. I saw the composite got redrawn and re-positioned. The initial mouse down c...
I would like to ask the same thing than this question but using SWT: Is there a way to make a Button with your own button graphic not just with an image inside the button? If not is another way to create a custom button in java? ...

Hello Everyone, I have actually two questions but they are kind of related so here they go as one... How to ensure garbage collection of tree nodes that are not currently displayed using TreeViewer(SWT.VIRTUAL) and ILazeTreeContentProvider? If a node has 5000 children, once they are displayed by the viewer they are never let go, hence ...
