Issues with HTML Control on Mac? [message #432375]

We are trying to use the HTML control to embed some links in an SWT
window. Works fine on Windows. On the Mac, soon as the form is about to
open it pops up a dialog instead saying an SWT error occurred and asking
whether to close the Runtime Workbench or not.

Ideas?

Thanks.

The error it spits up (in the log) is 'no more handles'....

you mean the browser widget?

If it's just for displaying (clickable) links, i'd go with one of the custom
hyperlink controls that popped up on this NG couple days (weeks) ago.
Loading the entire browser widget is a bit of overkill i'd say :)

Thanks for the tip. I need both so maybe for this piece I can just use
that. Thanks.

this site: http://www.novocode.com/swt/ has one particular example of a
hyperlink widget (but it appears to be platform dependent, so you might
wanna try another).

If you want some other, try the Eclipse Community pages.

What problem are you having with the Hyperlink widget on non-Win32
platforms? It should be platform-independent.

Soon as I go to open a panel that has the browser control embedded in
it, a dialog comes up saying 'SWT Error has occurred.' The log file
seems to indicate that there are no more handles...?? Same code works on
Winders.

I took the browser snippet code and made a class out of it then ran it
and it threw up the no handles error, which I clicked on to be taken here:

public Browser(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
>>>> SWT.error(SWT.ERROR_NO_HANDLES);
}

What am I missing? A constructor that registers an error in all cases?....

Nevermind. Found the ugly truth: not supported. Unbelievable.

Below:

Q: Which platforms are supported by the SWT Browser?
A: The SWT Browser is currently available on the following platforms:

1. Windows (Internet Explorer 5 or above)
2. Linux GTK and Linux Motif (both using Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - or above 1.4)

The following Linux distributions meet the Mozilla requirements for
using the Browser widget:
? RedHat Enterprise Linux 3
? Suse 9
Other Linux distributions require a supported version of Mozilla to be
installed. See instructions
3. Photon

Q: What is the state of the SWT Browser?
A: March. 10th. 2004. The SWT Browser is provided on Windows (Internet
Explorer), Linux GTK and Linux Motif (Mozilla) and Photon platforms.
Its API is frozen since M7. The focus between now and the Eclipse 3.0
release is on testing and fixing bugs in the API.

Rob, please stay calm. That's all I am allowed to say at this time.
