For every item selection an action ...

Hi, I would need a scale-widget in SWT that looks like the following example: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/SWT-JFace-Eclipse/Scales.htm If I run this example under Ubuntu (Gnome) the scale looks like this: http:// book.javanb.com/swt-the-standard-widget-toolkit/ch10lev1sec2.html But actually I would prefer to have these steps besid...
I want to display a file tree similarly to java2s.com 'Create a lazy file tree', but include the actual system icons - especially for folders. SWT does not seem to offer this (Program API does not support folders), so I came up with the following: public Image getImage(File file) { ImageIcon systemIcon = (ImageIcon) FileSystemView.g...
The SWT project currently maintains one distributable for each supported operating system. For example: swt-3.4.2-win32-win32-x86.zip swt-3.4.2-gtk-linux-x86.zip swt-3.4.2-carbon-macosx.zip Is there a distributable that just Does the Right Thing, regardless of which operating system the application is running on? ...
I apologize if this question is too basic, but I just can't figure out how to do this. I have a SWT TableFolder with two tabs, and I need to determine which of those two tabs are currently active, as it effects the behavior of another part of the program. Is this possible? Thank you in advance. ...

In this small class I have widgets which are supposed to react to mouse or keyboard event BUT I need to use modifier keys (Shift/Ctrl/Alt/...) to alter my copone...
I have a class based on Composite that embeds an SWT List instance. Using the default settings, the list is five rows high on my WinXP system. Without relying on hard-coded pixel values or DPI settings and the like, how can I set the height of the list (and the surrounding composite) to a fixed number of rows, say 3, without any added in...
I have a composite element, that initially has a Label. Now I call dispose on the it (the label) and create another label in the same container (composite elm), but I don't see the new text. It brings me to question how do I enable redraw on the composite, so that the new label (or any other component I might create) will render in place...
Hi All, I am trying to add a new menu item to Eclipse's popupmenus. It really seemed straightforward enough in the examples and tutorials but the menu item itself is never visible. I expect this to work in all views and for basically anything that is a file. I am using Eclipse 3.4. This is the my plugin.xml configuration: <?xml version...

I am applying a ViewerFilter to a tree of a few branches, but mostly leaves. The filter really applies to the leaves, using properties within the leaf. All branches are left untouched so that their leafs can appear. However I would like to filter out branches that contain no selected leafs, and I can see no mechanism within ViewerFilter...

What should I be looking at when choosing between SWT and Swing? I've had a little experience with both, but I'm interested in: layouts/layout managers; data binding; pre-built controls; ease of development. I will assume that they are both satisfactory in terms of GUI performance and of platform availability. ...
I am writing an application in Java that places an icon in the system tray (via SWT). When this icon is clicked, I wish to have it automatically type some keys (via the Robot class) into whatever text field is in focus at the time of clicking (could be in any window). Unfortunately, clicking the system tray icon steals the focus away fro...

I've created a dialog class filling some common widgets, like text, combo, and tree. It annoys to have the default behavior to dismiss this dialog (same as the default 'OK' button is pressed) when enter/return is pressed whichever widget I was in. To prevent this behavior, I have to add a traverse listener for each widget to filter the ...
