Multiline TreeItems [message #730842]

Hi all,

I am looking for a method to display TreeItems in a Tree-Widget with line wrapping and newlines in the text on multiple lines. I've searched the internet for some time and found some hacks for older SWT versions using PaintListeners and stuff like that.

Is that still the way to go, or is there a more elegant method with recent eclipse versions?

Thanks in advance
Regards

The snippet you've probably already seen (
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet227.java
) is the only way to do this. There are a couple of related bug reports:
