button text color change [message #505343]

Hi!

This is a very basic question. I want to change the color of the text in a SWT button in the simplest way.
I have seen there might be a eclipse bug on win32-systems where u can't change colors of a button at all. However, changing the background of my radio button to black is no problem. But I want to change to color of the text. Setforeground doesn't work. Is it suppose to, or is there another way one should do it?

Best regards
B

Control.setForeground() is the right way to do what you want, so if it does
not work for you then it's not natively supported. Most Controls allow you
to change their foregrounds and backgrounds, but there are a few
platform-specific ones that don't.
