Checkbox listener snippet? [message #1064569]

I'm trying to toggle the visibility of a Control based on whether or not a checkbox is checked. This seems like something that should be obvious, but I can't find any snippet or example that shows the preferred way to achieve this. Once I find out, I'd like to submit one.

My investigation found that a SWT.Selection listener is fired when the box is checked or unchecked, I can use getSelection() to tell if it is checked, and if the button is final, it can be accessed in the listener, so that works, but I'm not at all sure if this the preferred way to do it. Thoughts?

how did u create checkbox?

new Button(parent, SWT.Check);

you can get the source from event and then typecast it to button and u can getselection from that.

otherwise u can directly use the variable for button by making it final or field variable for getting selection
