I've been testing out code like this here ( http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/SWT-JFace-Eclipse/Cursorcreateacolorcursorfromanimagefile.htm ) to see if I can make custom cursors on SWT with Linux.

We have a Java desktop app with an embedded browser, now using XULRunner (Firefox engine) on SWT. This browser's API allows us to load webs specifying an URI or its HTML content. What we need is to load HTML webpages including resources but being everything in memory. The best solution would be to provide a listener used when the engine ...

Hello, With SWT Browser, is there any way to import a SSL certificate file into Java and make it work with SWT Browser?

I have a ScrolledComposite, the contents of which are being truncated. I have Googled and am aware that it is a known issue on Windows. The only suggested workaround I can find is to use the canvas.scroll functionality: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet48.java?view=mar...
I would like to create all my widgets before inserting them into my swt Composite parent. But as I understand the parent is always specified in the constructor when a child is created: Composite container = new Composite(parent, SWT.NULL); GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(); container.setLayout(layout); layout.numColumns = 3; layout.v...

How my wizard pages renders depends on the target platform. If I run my plugins in 3.5.2, they render correctly as soon as I open them. But in 3.6.1, their contents areas...

This appens only wh...

Example: Tree: A -B --1 --2 -C --1 --2 Pattern "B" gives me: A -B But I need: A -B --1 --2 I tried a few t...
Hi, I am using Google Window Builder Pro for SWT and we use a lot of custom components here. The components rely on being used within our framework, but this makes them unusable in Window Builder (exeptions are thrown when used outside of our framework, like, in Window Builder). How do I detect that Window Builder is using our componen...
