Hello everyone,
I'm going crazy on this. I have a Text box inside a Form and I want it to
start disabled (text.setEnabled(false)). The problem is I want the Text
box to have a flat border but it insists in not showing. Here's a Snippet.
I'm using it inside a WizardPage, in createControl(Composite parent) method
public void createControl(Composite parent) {
FormToolkit toolkit = new FormToolkit(parent.getDisplay());
ScrolledForm form = toolkit.createScrolledForm(parent);
form.getBody().setLayout(new FillLayout());
Composite comp = toolkit.createComposite(form.getBody());
GridLayout gl = new GridLayout(2, false);
comp.setLayout(gl);
Label label = toolkit.createLabel(comp, "Label: ");
Text text = toolkit.createText(comp, "");
toolkit.paintBordersFor(comp);
label.setEnabled(false);
text.setEnabled(false);
setControl(comp);
}
I've tried so many different things, looked to every post and can't find a
solution. Any help please?
Thanks in advance.

Its a design decision in the UI Forms code. I'm not quite sure why but
they do not draw the flat border around disabled Text widgets. You'll
need to wrap your Text field in a composite, setData on the composite
with the correct info to mark it for a border, then paintBordersFor.
Sorry I don't remember the setData info that you'll need to mark it for
a border, search around.
