Hi,
I am extending the DefaultTextEditor for several custom editors I am
building. I was thinking that the DefaultTextEditor would come with an
option to enable word wrapping, but I have been unsuccessful to locate
the methods providing this functionality. It seems like an extensive
task considering that I need to take in to account the window size of
the editor and font size used in the editor.
Is word wrapping something that is provided through Eclipse, or do I
need to write my own?
Thanks,
-Stephen

Thanks Tom,
I will take a look at the StyledText widget. I was hoping I wouldn't
have to dig into the SWT / JFace too much, but I will do some snooping
around to see if any of the underlying compenents have controls for this.
I'm disappointed to here of all the unsuccessful attempts though. Does
anyone have a story of a successful one?
Cheers,
-Stephen

I figured out how to add the word wrapping to an Eclipse Editor.
The secrets lie hidden in these two pages:
This page shows how to set the word wrapping on the widget
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/StyledText%201/article1.html
This page shows how to get the widget from an eclipse editor
http://eclipse.moelleryoung.com/htmlsave/
Thought I would share with all!
