Hi All,

What is the corresponding Widget in SWT for JEditorPane in Swing.

If there is allready a built application(HTML editor app in) in
JEditorPane in Swing, how can we accomodate it to SWT.

Thanks

No, there currently is no SWT control that is directly equivalent to
JEditorPane. You'll have to do something more complicated like a GEF
editor if you want to create an HTML editor, or handle the painting of
your editor yourself onto an SWT canvas.

If all you need is stylized text editing, then you can use org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText (don't hold me to the class name, it's something like that). I saw an HTML editor for SWT somewhere, you'll have to Google it. I do remember that it's commercial though. And, obviously if all you need is HTML displaying, then you should use the Browser widget.

Hi All,

Thanks for the answers, I got the point that there is no JeditorPane kind
of widget in SWT, but my second question is, If there is allready a
application built in JEditorPane in Swing, how can we incooperate into a
SWT application.

for e.g How can we set that application as one page of the SWT Multipage
Editor without popping up seperately.

Thanks,
Peter

You can add Swing components to SWT composites using the org.eclipse.swt.awt.SWT_AWT class and calling the getFrame(Composite) method.

Hi,

There is no method called getFrame() in the SWT_AWT class.
Are you refering to the new_Frame( ) method.?

Thanks,

Look at (URL may wrap)
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet135.java?rev=HEAD& amp;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
for an example how to use SWT_AWT. Be aware of threading issues.

Hope that helps

Stefan

P.S.: If you don't need to change font in the editor you could use
StyledText component.

My mistake. :-) I didn't have the API open at the time and was working from memory. There're only two methods in the class so I assumed that it wouldn't be hard to figure out what I was saying (as you demonstrated).

Hi,
If I allready have a application(which extends JFrame as follows

public class ExistingAPP extends JFrame implements WindowListener

and then when I try to use the java.awt.Frame xxx=
SWT_AWT.new_Frame(xxxxx);

it gives the following error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: adding a
window to a container
at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.Container.add(Unknown Source)
at com.hexidec.ekit.CoolClass.main(CoolClass.java:61)

How to overcome this problem without changing the JFrame class.

waiting for a quick reply.

Thanks,
