i have a handler class which needs to set text of the tree items in the GUI.
the tree is like
> expandable treeitem
- treeitem 1
- treeitem 2

i want to change the text of "expandable treeItem", "treeitem 1", ....

this seems not to work:

TreeItem clusterItem = selectedForm.getTreeWidget().getTopItem();
clusterItem.setText("gaga");

selectedForm is an instanceOf dialog, the GUI i want to change the text.

The tree widget is exposed so i can access it from my handler class

what do i do wrong?

Two observations:
- When you ask a question like this, you should always post a complete example/test case showing what you are actually doing
- This is the wrong forum for this question. SWT/JFace/Swing HowTo questions should be posted to those relevant forums. This forum is for questions about how to use or extend WindowBuilder.
