Hyperlinks in tree node text? [message #649412]

I would like to have a tree such that the text of each node in the tree may
contain one (or more) hyperlinks on which I can process select/click events.
So I guess the question is can the text of a node be represented or
displayed as HTML somehow or at least in some rich text format that looks
like it contains hyperlinks? I am new to SWT and looking at the limitations
of TreeItem I couldn't see how this could be done.

Hi,

You cannot set hyperlinks in the TreeItem's text.
But, you can try to do this by setting TreeEditors to the TreeItems with Link widget as the editor control. You can set text with hyperlinks to the Link widget. And then listen to the Selection events on the Link widget to be notified when user clicks the hyperlinks.
For examples of TableEditor and TreeEditor, please see --> http://eclipse.org/swt/snippets/

HTH,
Lakshmi
