flame bait (newbie SWT question) [message #446881]

Hi all,

So I've done a couple tutorials, and I've got the basics of widget
creation and threading down (IE display.asyncExec(Runnable)). However,
I cannot seem to find a widget equivalent of a javax.swing.JPanel for
instance, something which I can use as a blank space to give its own
layout, with its own widgets etc... Can anyone suggest a URL or code
snippet to show me how to nest layouts to create more complex user
interfaces?

Thanks much in advance, this stuff is WAY better than Swing/JFC

Ben

Honestly, if anyone replied in favor of swing they'd
be eaten alive on this newsgroup.  The class you're looking for is
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite  It's the superclass of a lot of
other widget containers like ToolBar, CoolBar, Canvas, etc.  Any other
questions feel happy to refer to us.

See

for code that shows you how to do things in SWT.

Thank you, I hadn't found this yet... I guess I need to spend some more
time on eclipse.org. I'm ecstatic to finally ditch swing
