Borderless Buttons [message #445482]

Hi,
How do I turn off the border on a Button widget?

I have an image I want to be clickable, like a button, but I don't want a
border, just the background color. There's somethin like this used to bring
up help in the plugin.xml editorm Overview section.

Is button the right widget, or do I need a custom widget?

Mike

Hi,

I'm already using SWT.FLAT, I still get the border, the button just appears
flat, not 3-D.

There is no button style that has no borders.

You could try sticking the button in a composite and using
Button.getBorderWidth()

The rendering of buttons is done by the theme manager. You will need a
custom widget if you really want the mouse bevhaior of a button (ie press,
let go with mouse inside the button to select). Alternately, you could use
an SWT.FLAT tool bar. This may be what you are seeing in the Eclipse UI.
