Native Close Button [message #447079]

Hello,
I want to ask if it is possible to use the standard native "close button",
which is implemented in the Shell widget. I want to use this native "close
button" in a normal composite and not to use the shell at all...
I can always create my custom "close button", but then I will have the
problem to use it under PocketPC, because of the bug with the
image-buttons on PocketPC.
Regards,
Todor

There really isn't any way to do this. You'll have
to dip into the native through JNI if you really need this function.
Either that, or emulate it.

I was almost sure that it will be like this...but I thought that maybe
there will be such a way, because there are such a close buttons on each
tab(on TabPane for example when you open files, next to the file name) in
eclispe...Emulating is ok but I am building a GUI for PocketPC...and there
the image buttons are not working...

>I want to use this native "close button" in a normal composite
Just wondering. Isnt'it going to look 'non Pocket PC' and consume extra
space in that small PDA screen? Word on Pocket PC simply shows one document
at a time that can be closed with the child shell 'Ok' button.

> there the image buttons are not working...
On the Pocket PC, you can use a Label with an Image and register a mouse
listener to detect when the label was clicked.

And while we are on the topic, it's possible to set top menu items with the
PUSH style that display a 16x16 icon inside the menubar - as many Pocket PC
apps do.

import org.eclipse.swt.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.*;

public class PR {

public static void main (String [] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
Shell shell = new Shell (display);
Menu bar = new Menu (shell, SWT.BAR);
Image image = new Image(display, 16, 16); // put your real image here
shell.setMenuBar (bar);
MenuItem item = new MenuItem (bar, SWT.PUSH);
item.addListener (SWT.Selection, new Listener () {
public void handleEvent (Event e) {
System.out.println ("Pushed!");
}
});
item.setImage(image);
shell.open ();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
}
image.dispose();
display.dispose ();
}

}

The close button belongs to the Window Manager on X platforms. There's no
way to know how it is rendered.
