Hi All,

I created outlines in the Desktop node of the client tree ... the new outlines are visible (and work well) in the RAP and SWING client ... but only some of them are visible in the SWT client ...

Any idea what the issue might be?

Many thanks!

Cheers
Uwe

Can you elaborate a bit more? How many outlines did you create? How many are visible and how many aren't? Where exactly are you seeing them or not seeing them? As buttons on the toolbar? Some other place?

From your post I assume that the problem is not, that you see no outline toolbar button at all, is that correct?

Maybe a screenshot would help...

Hi,

In addition to the "Standard" outline (which I disabled) I created first "Administration" then "Contracts" then (for test purposes) "Configuration".

In the RAP and Swing client I see all enabled outlines.

In the SWT client only the "Contracts" outline.

Any idea?

Yes this is a known issue: for the SWT UI, you need to decide manually if you want to display the coolbar in or not.

Here an example of the Widgets demo application (Swt UI):

index.php/fa/21587/0/

To get there you need to open:
<your app>.ui.swt.application.ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor

In the method:
preWindowOpen() change the value of the boolean in setShowCoolBar(..). It is false per default, you need to set it to true.

Code snippet:

@Override
public void preWindowOpen() {
  IWorkbenchWindowConfigurer configurer = getWindowConfigurer();
  configurer.setInitialSize(new Point(1024, 768));
  configurer.setShowCoolBar(true);
  configurer.setShowStatusLine(true);
  configurer.setShowProgressIndicator(true);
  configurer.setShowMenuBar(true);
  configurer.setShowPerspectiveBar(false);
  configurer.setShowFastViewBars(false);
}
