Hello,

I have a SWT Push Button which shows an image. Is there a way to remove the border around the image?

Thanks

Alwin

I assume you mean the border around the Button (?). Your choices are:

- create the Button with style SWT.FLAT | SWT.PUSH, which on some platforms
will lessen the border (but will not remove it completely), or
- create a SWT.FLAT ToolBar with a ToolItem as shown in
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/org. eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet36. java
(remove the ToolBar's SWT.BORDER style and the ToolItem's SWT.DROP_DOWN
style)

Is there any other way to achieve this ?

I have similar requirement. I tried toolbar approach but that does not help me because ToolItem is not grabbing focus when I press keyboard tab button.

When we create a button with style as SWT.ARROW, margins are not there. Can similar behavior be achieved ?

Thanks Grant!

The toolbar option worked for me in a RAP application using SWT.

By the way, eclipse has moved to git so the new link of the Toolbar Snippet is:
