Hi,

I have the next common code. It is a Text widget into a window. Put a long
text into it (the left part has to be invisible) and resize the window. The
content of the widget is the same one as before the resize operation. The
content is not repaint.

What can i do to solve that problem ????

Thanks

JMi

Take out the style SINGLE - Single means only one line is shown which will
never wrap.

Thanks Veronica but... it is not OK for me

I really need to have only one ligne and i can't use the SWT.WRAP

I use the control to display things with only one ligne (numbers) from the
RIGHT If my number use more area then the displayed one then i have a
problem because the user will probably imagine that he saw everything ->
mistake.

I found a workaround for this problem - i reset the text...

_textCtl.addListener(SWT.Resize, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(final Event argEvent) {
_textCtl.setText(_textCtl.getText());
}
});

This is a bug in SWT. I have entered the following bug report:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=78943

As a workaround, instead of calling:

_textCtl.setText(_textCtl.getText());

try:

_textCtl.setSelection(_textCtl.getSelection());

The reason for using the selection approach is because this will preserve
the cursor location and the selection (for the most part - if text is
selected right to left, on resize it will be selected left to right but
there is no way to know in which direction the selection goes).
