How do I find out the style of an SWT part? [message #526301]

Hello
I have a feeling that I will have one of those "duh!" moments when I see the answer.

I'm creating the UI from meta-data, so my code doesn't know one part from another. I want to find out if a Button is SWT.PUSH (rather than SWT.CHECK).

I assumed that getStyle() would work, but that returns a valuie of 50331656, whereas SWT.PUSH is 8. I don't OR this with any other style values, so I am at a bit of a loss as to why getStyle() doesn't return 8..

Likewise, I also need to distinguish a 'multi-line edit' Text box from a normal one. I have a feeling that getSyle() is not going to return me the result of SWT.BORDER | SWT.WRAP | SWT.MULTI.

Regards, John

Hi John,

> I want to find out if a Button is SWT.PUSH (rather than SWT.CHECK).

These are bit-masks, SWT also adds default styles, use this to check for a style:

((btn.getStyle() & SWT.PUSH) > 0)

Greetings,

Ralf
