Hello All,
[ Newbie here..]
I have been trying to understand the SWT, GEF and the draw2D parts. Let me
congratulate for the cool effort...
I wanted to develop some forms where user could enter text, use a couple
of check boxes and combo boxes and write it out to a file. I started using
SWT and created the form but did not know how to proceed to the next form
by clicking NEXT >, < BACK etc etc (like the usual Install Software UI
mechanism) ...
I wanted to change the logic to Tabs by using Tab1, Tab2 etc etc but have
not found anything in Draw2D.
The questions I have :
1.) Are there any classes similar to JtabbedPane in swing ?? If you are
suggesting (SWT) TabFolder, how do I use it in combination with Draw2d ?
2.) Also, please enlighten me on these concepts ? What would be analogous
to Frame, Panel, JTabbedPane etc etc in SWT / Draw2d to Swing ? A post
mentioning analogous classes would really help newbies like me?
3.) The constructors in Draw2d do not allow any SWT objects. For example,
I am looking for a way to add a combobox to the Figure object and I do not
see a way to do it ? Similar is the case with Text form ??
Thanks in advance!!!
Kumar

Draw2d's purpose is not to extend the SWT widget set.

There is an entire wizards package in JFace. I think if you keep looking
you'll find something more useful.

Draw2D's current purpose is to render a collection of Figures on a single
SWT Canvas. No one is really looking to mix lightweight figures and SWT
controls. You can do this, but why would you?

Frame = Shell
Panel = Composite
JTabbedPane = CTabFolder

Thanks Randy!!
Well, as you said, I am sure I am currently at the tip of the code base. I
would have to dig in deeper to understand as to why some of the widgets
are not available in Draw2D.
