I have followed the "Extending the Visual Editor" tutorial to create
custom swt widgets
and added some properties. I just want to show only the properties that I
added and remove
the rest of it like bounds, background etc..

public BeanInfo[] getAdditionalBeanInfo() {

return null;
}

didn't remove the additional properties

I looked into the Ve code for SWT and saw all SWT BeanInfo classes
extending from IvjBeanInfo and in the tutorial it says to extend from
SimpleBeanInfo for SWT widgets.

I read that SWT widgets are not complete Java Bean and properties like
fieldname are annotations. How to remove the annotations from the property
sheet.

Do I have to write the Decoders for all the custom widgets?

Also, Do I need to do more than the tutorial to create custom widgets in
VE?

Thanks in Advance,

We don't really recommand doing that. It has been tried in the past but
it causes problems. This is because the VE expects certain properties to
be there just to handle it. For example bounds are needed if the visual
is not in a composite that has a layout assigned.
