Hi all,
So I've done a couple tutorials, and I've got the basics of widget
creation and threading down (IE display.asyncExec(Runnable)). However,
I cannot seem to find a widget equivalent of a javax.swing.JPanel for
instance, something which I can use as a blank space to give its own
layout, with its own widgets etc... Can anyone suggest a URL or code
snippet to show me how to nest layouts to create more complex user
interfaces?
Thanks much in advance, this stuff is WAY better than Swing/JFC
Ben

be eaten alive on this newsgroup. The class you're looking for is
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite It's the superclass of a lot of
other widget containers like ToolBar, CoolBar, Canvas, etc. Any other
questions feel happy to refer to us.<br>

Thank you, I hadn't found this yet... I guess I need to spend some more
time on eclipse.org. I'm ecstatic to finally ditch swing
