Hi,
i want to display some text with the style SWT.MULTI | SWT.WRAP and in this text I want to display links for some words in it.
Is the only solution to use a Browser Widget to achieve this?

Greets,
Gerald.

Hi Gerald,

Have you seen the org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Hyperlink widget?

I believe it is what you are looking for.

Hope this helps.

yes i have seen it. But with this widget all text is a hyperlink or I'm wrong?.
I tried now FormText but I think this widget is still a little bit buggy.
Because I tried it with the following XML for setText():
<form><p><a href=\"http://www.google.com/\" alt=\"test\">test1</a> blabla <a href=\"http://www.gmx.com/\" alt=\"test2\">test2</a></p></form>
The tooltip display is correct, but when I clicked on a link sometimes nothing happens, sometimes always google opens (clicking on the first or the second link) and sometimes it works as expected.
I have no idea why this isn't working...
I think I have to display the text as normal and list the links with Hyperlink under the text (there are max. 3 links in the text).

Gerald,

please file a bugzilla [1] if you think this is a bug. In case of the
FormText, you may check against RCP. If it works there, it should also
work in RAP.
