I have a TableViewer widget with a single column, where each row in the table's contents is a Composite with a number of child widgets. The column has a label provider that is a subclass of OwnerDrawLabelProvider.

Hey, I'm a web developer at day and thinking about building my first real desktop application.

Currently with swt, I sometimes want a program to arbitrarily come to the foreground (like an alarm clock might). Typically the following works (jruby): @shell.setMinimized(false) @shell.forceActive This brings the shell to the front if it was minimized.

Eclipse 3.5 (on the Mac, at least) now has a slimmer look to its buttons and scroll bars, whereas previous versions' buttons and scroll bars used the larger, "puffier" look. I would like to adopt this same look in my RCP app, but I can't find in the SWT or JFace APIs anywhere how to force the widgets to use this slimmer look. How is th...
Hi I disable org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Hyperlink control just calling hyperLink.setEnabled(false). However after that the link doesn't looks like disabled control. The link is not grayed out (but I can't click it of course). The question is: why the link is not grayed out and what should I do to gray out disabled links? Thanks ...
Ok, I have a(n) RCP application (that I didn't write), and an application I've developed using just SWT. What I want to do is basically import and launch the main method of the SWT application with arguments, such that it runs in another window, like it's another process. The argument I want to pass is a complex data structure that I d...

However now I need to dispose of the shell when the cursor moves out of the shell window and I ran into some issues: Does it make sense to attach a mousemov...
