Hi all,

I just find out the LookAndFeel of the DirecotryDialog UI is totally
different from SWT default.
The text, buttons in the Dialog looks like native interface written in C++
instead of SWT Text and Button.

Is this a bug or it should look like as it is?

Thanks

Andrew

Hi andrew,

are you running WindowsXP? Not sure if thats the point in your post,
but there is a way to turn on WinXP Look & Feel inside SWT applications:

Andrew,

The swt DirectoryDialogs on all platforms utilize the natively-provided
directory dialogs, so they should look native (similar to most other swt
widgets).
