PGroup GroupStrategies [message #16807]

Howdy,

I just stumbled onto the Nebula page and was excited to see several
widgets which are exactly what I've been looking for! This is very cool.
Most immediately, I need PGroup.

As for the different GroupStrategys...are there any plans to have the
SimpleGroupStrategy (or another new GroupStrategy) emulate the behavior of
the SWT widget "Group", which draws a round-rectangle around the entire
composite? Or perhaps there is a flag I can set to do this already and I
just haven't discovered it yet?

Also, what's up with the little box that occasionally appears in the upper
left hand corner of a PGroup? I presume this is just a bug that has to do
with rendering the toggle...

Thanks for starting this project up -- I'm eager to put this stuff to use.

Hi Dave,

Glad you like PGroup.

I don't have any plans to create any new strategies at the moment.
They're not that hard to write, especially if you write one without many
options.

The little box that shows up is actually a focus rectangle. There's a
bug with SWT 3.2 that is causing them to be drawn incorrectly. If you
have 3.3 it should look fine (the focus rect should surround the
toggle). Hopefully the fix will be back ported to 3.2.x.

Regards,
-Chris
