Combo.setSelection(Point) missing [message #114818]

Hi

I'm messing about with the jface.contentassist package and I notice that
ComboContentAdapter class is missing. It seems that this is because
Combo.setSelection(Point) and Combo.getSelection(Point) methods are
missing.

The text widget has these and it didn't seem to me by perusing the SWT
code that Combo couldn't support these methods too.

Is this a simple oversight or is there something deeper that I haven't
realised?

If it's an oversight, I could supply patches.

Cheers
Paul

P.S. Thanks for working on those databinding bugs!

Paul,

there is already an enhancement request where you could comment on
or attach code:
238656: Combo#getSelection is missing
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=238656

It is most likely not an oversight. I remember that the selection
handing on the client-side is very limited. qx alters/resets the
selection under certain conditions, FF throws an error when querying
the selection of a hidden text field, plus more I cannot recall
right now. If you are interested in the details, search the bug
database for open/closed items with "text + selection"

Cheers,
Rüdiger
