How to generate a pop-up window with an input text in SWT [message #447305]

Could anyone help me with an example on how to generate a pop-up window
with an input text in SWT. I need to be able to read the value entered
into my application

There is no built-in way of doing this in SWT as far as I know.
My suggestion would be to implement a popupmenu yourself:

- design a Dialog with the text field (MODAL);
- create, set the bounds, and show the dialog on MenuDetect events;
- dispose the dialog upon losing focus...

Take a look at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.InputDialog
A short example use:

InputDialog d = new InputDialog(parentShell,
"your title",
"Please give me input ...",
"Default",
null);
d.open();
String result = d.getValue();
