CCombo Flicker while switching between workbench parts [message #1772039] Mon, 04 September 2017 08:30 Go to next message

When we have multiple CCombo widgets in an editor, the CCombo-widgets slightly flicker when switching focus between other workbench views/editors. This doesn't occur with other SWT widgets on the ditor. Only happens when focus Package Explorer and re-focus on the editor back again.

any idea ?

Here are my findings on this topic so far..

Workaround - use Combo instead of CCombo.

Combo is native widget and the performance wise better candidate.

CCombo is custom widget and draw itself using underlying OS graphics capabilities. I.e no native look and feel and performance tested inside editor with large number of CCombo widgets(50+ widgets) is too slow, compared to native combo widget.

due to custom drawing mechanism involved, the flickering effect surfaced under some conditions.
