Hello,
I have a custom composite that has some private setting data, getters/setters for those settings,
and a render method that basically creates the content of this composite based on the settings.
In VE, when you DND this custom composite from the palette, we generate the following code :
private void createMyCustomComposite()
{
myComposite = new MyCustomComposite(this, SWT.NONE);
myComposite.setComponentClassName("input");
myComposite.setWidgetClassName("text");
myComposite.render();
myComposite.setBounds(new org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Rectangle(51,22,179,78));
}
In VE, the render() method doesn't seem to get called, so the custom composite is displayed as blank.
If I call the render() method inside the setComponentClassName() or setWidgetClassName() methods,
then this render() method gets called, and I was able to see my custom composite gets rendered.
Can anyone help? thanks.

The problem is that the VE only models properties, not method calls.
Since render is not a property setting it never gets called. We do have
an open enhancement to try to handle method calls, but this opens up a
pandora box that we need to think very carefully about.
