Hi All,
I am trying to create a widget that contains other widgets. Hence, as a test
I have created a class TwinButton that extends the Composite class and
contains a button widget. However, the text on the button does not appear.
If I create a simple button widget the text appears. What would I need to do
to make this work ? i.e are there certain methods that I have to overwrite.
thanks in advance.
public class TwinButton extends Composite {
protected Button buttonA;
// protected Button buttonB;
public TwinButton(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, SWT.NONE);
buttonA = new Button(this, style);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setText(" Hello World ");
shell.setBounds(100, 100, 400, 250);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
TwinButton button = new TwinButton(shell, SWT.CENTER );
//Button button = new Button(shell, SWT.CENTER );
button.setText("Apples");
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
public void setText(String text) {
buttonA.setText(text);
}
// Methods overriding Composite
public Point computeSize (int wHint, int hHint, boolean changed) {
return buttonA.computeSize (wHint, hHint, changed);
}
/*
public void setLayout(Layout layout) {
return; // do nothing
}
*/
}

You need to lay the button out inside the parent composite:
For example:
public class TwinButton extends Composite {
protected Button buttonA;
// protected Button buttonB;
class TwinButtonLayout extends Layout {
protected Point computeSize(Composite composite, int
wHint, int hHint, boolean flushCache) {
Button buttonA =
((TwinButton)composite).buttonA;
return buttonA.computeSize(wHint, hHint,
flushCache);
}
protected void layout(Composite composite, boolean
flushCache) {
Button buttonA =
((TwinButton)composite).buttonA;
Rectangle rect = composite.getClientArea();
buttonA.setBounds(rect);
}
}
public TwinButton(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, SWT.NONE);
buttonA = new Button(this, style);
super.setLayout(new TwinButtonLayout());
}
public void setText(String text) {
buttonA.setText(text);
}
// Methods overriding Composite
public Point computeSize (int wHint, int hHint, boolean
changed) {
return buttonA.computeSize (wHint, hHint, changed);
}
public void setLayout(Layout layout) {
return; // do nothing
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setText(" Hello World ");
shell.setBounds(100, 100, 400, 250);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
TwinButton button = new TwinButton(shell, SWT.CENTER );
//Button button = new Button(shell, SWT.CENTER );
button.setText("Apples");
shell.setSize(100, 100);
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
