Hi all,
In my application I have a table widget where I do custom painting of
its table items by attaching listeners to the table's SWT.MeasureItem,
SWT.EraseItem and SWT.EraseItem events.
It works well under both Linux and Windows, but it has been broken by
the new release of GTK 2.18, as I noticed when trying my application in
Ubuntu Karmic.
The problem is that the underlying GTK widget implementation draws a
dotted line separating the table columns, which makes my widget render
incorrectly:
http://www.haundrix.com/customTableDrawingBug/screenshot1.pn g
Calling Table.setLinesVisible(false) has no effect, it only makes the
lines thicker if one passes the value true instead of false.
I've also tried disabling all native drawing by setting in the
SWT.EraseItem listener code:
event.detail &= ~SWT.FOREGROUND;
event.detail &= ~SWT.BACKGROUND;
event.detail &= ~SWT.SELECTED;
event.detail &= ~SWT.FOCUSED;
event.detail &= ~SWT.HOT;
or even:
event.doit = false;
but that doesn't prevent the dotted lines from being drawn.
In this screenshot I'm doing all the drawing myself, drawing a blue
background across the whole cell, but it seems like the dotted line is
drawn by GTK after SWT has done all of the custom drawing:

Any ideas on how get away with the dotted line separating the table columns?
Does anyone know of a way to change GTK's behavior (perhaps setting a
magical environment variable)?
Thanks,
Alex

Are you on a distro with GTK 2.18?

I played a little with Snippet230 without success (see below).
Everything I tried didn't get rid of the dotted lines separating the
columns. Could you please show me how you changed it?
Another point which is confusing me: the value of event.width on the
PaintItem event is not retaining the value set on the MeasureItem event,
whereas the value of event.height is slightly larger by 2 or 4 pixels.
Is this the expected behavior???
Thank you very much,
Alex
