IM user list like widget [message #454926]

Hi,

I'm making a small IM like application and I'm in need of a user list
widget similar to the one in MSN Messenger, a small icon and a text
label. I'm trying to decide which road to go:

1. Extend List to add an image in addition to the text label.
2. Use JFace and extend ListView to add the behaviour.
3. Make a custom widget and make a list by putting several such widgets
in a container with a RowLayout.

It is important that the text label is selectable, just like with the
standard List.

1 and 2 are kinda similar and I'll probably go for number two but I'd
like to get some input. Have anyone done something similar already?

Regards,

Johan Tibell

You might want to try the pre-existing Table
widget.  That should give you all the functionality you need.
