Hi,

Is there a way to place an SWT widget onto a draw2d figure? In particular, I
would like to place an (editable) text field onto part of a draw2d drawing.

thanks,

You can't add an SWT widget to a figure, but you can place it over where you
know the draw2d figure is. We do this for direct-editing. In the logic
example, select a label and then click on it (but not so soon that it's a
double-click). This will trigger direct-edit and an SWT celleditor will pop
up. Look at DirectEditManager et al to see how this was done.

Someone should contribute a ControlProxy figure implementation to draw2d.
(I think we'd be using proxy in the right sense in thise case, but correct
me if I'm wrong). the figure's getPreferredSize(), would delegate to the
computeSize method on the control. Calling setBounds on the figure would
additionally call setBounds() on the Control (after translating to absolute
cooreidnates). Disposing the control would remove the figure from it's
parent.

There are still some other bugs surrounding scrolling of the canvas and
children not moving. Those will be fixed soon I hope.
