I can not find information on this anywhere... How can I dynamically
change the Word Wrap on the Text Widget. Basically I am exposing a Menu
item that the user can select whether they want wordwrap on or off
similiar to the feature in Notepad.exe but I can not figure out how to
get the widget to respond.

Thanks for any help...

In the Text widget, wrapping can only be set at creation time with the style
SWT.WRAP.

StyledText allows you to toggle word warpping dynamically using
StyledText.setWordWrap(boolean).

You're right... I was looking at using that widget but decided I only
needed the plain text and figured I was overlooking something... thanks
for your quick response.
