Is there a setName method for labels ? [message #446861]

Hi !

I need to specify the name for labels created from XML files. To be
simple, say it's a kind of GUI builder that saves current project as XML
files : when I reconstruct the frames, I need to give all the
objects/controls a name to allow users editing their properties in a
PropertySheet.

So I wondered if there was a method like the JLabel.setName() one, in
SWT (for labels, texts, buttons and so on) ? I looked for something like
that, but didn't see anything.

TIA

You could perhaps use setData(name) and getData(name) if you only have one
value to associate with the label.
.... or setData("NAME", name) and getData("NAME").?
