Hi,

tried to create a browser inside my rap application by using an example like below and that works fine

final Browser browser = new Browser(this, SWT.NONE);
b.addProgressListener(new ProgressListener() {
@Override
public void completed(ProgressEvent event) {
browser .execute("alert(\"Start My Browser\");");
}
@Override
public void changed(ProgressEvent event) {
}
});

It shows an empty page and gives an alert.

Now I want to add some contents to the page

final String test = "<html> <body><h1>My First Heading</h1><p>My first paragraph.</p> </body> </html>";
browser.setText(test);

But whatever i try and change, I never see some text. So the question is how to programmatically add some contents to the browser?

Hi bertin,
html snippet you posted works for me with Controls Demo. Could you post
your complete code. Are you using layout manager? Does your browser have
a non zero bounds?
Best,
Ivan

Like Ivan said, your browser widget probably has either zero width/height or the default 50x50. Make sure you are setting a layout (GridLayout, FillLayout, etc) on the parent composite.
