is there a known way to display animated gifs in a tableColumn?
at the moment i can only get the first frame of the animated gif
displayed (thats the standart swt way, i know)
however, the actual project i am working on is in need of animated
column icons for indicating progress for e.g.


thanks in advance,

yours sincerely

You could extend your LabelProvider to return different images depending
on progress state. Calling viewer.update() should update the images.

But I think displaying a busy cursor should be enough feedback to the user.

We have kinda 3 states,

waiting,processing,finished.
when the state processing is the actual state, the animated icon should
be displayed.

displaying a busy-cursor woudln't work bc it would be displayed all the
time.

there are lots of items in the table and each one of them can have the
state processing

I would simply compute the Image myself, and set that one as the image
to be displayed.
I think that there are ways in SWT to use the various images from an
animated gif.

Hello,

is there a way to use transparent Gifs (on a composite)?
I'm coding in KDE where it works and was astonished that it doesn't work in
Windows or Gnome.

thanks
ronny

It works now. It was actually a Gif on a Label and I set the
Labal-Background to red by mistake.
(This means, that setting the label-background to red didn't work under KDE
because of the gtk-qt-engine, but this is no problem for me.)

thanks
ronny
