Problems using Component Browser [message #484986] Thu, 10 September 2009 06:59 Go to next message

Hi to everyone,

I use an Browser in a class that extends
org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.PopupDialog.

I show an html-text (no url) in this component, in which there are
different links. These links don't link to another site, but I want to
change the html-text (using method setText(..)) when I click one link.
I use the LocationListener to set the new text.
But the component just opens a new window for a very short time, I don't
see whats its content.
Then it closes both windows, the recently opened window and the
PopupDialog himself.

I just want to set a new text in the browser, that is shown and want the
browser to recognize it as new site, so I can call back() and forward(),
if available.

Can you help me?
Thanks in advance

Markus

Hi Markus,

I see a bug with invoking setText() consecutive times, so I've logged
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289470 . I believe this is at
least part of your problem, but your case seems more complicated if there
are new windows opening, etc. If this report does not capture your case
adequately then you'll need to provide a snippet that shows what you're
doing.

One detail to note about setText() is that this works on all browser
implementations by navigating to about:blank and then setting the page
content from the string. For this reason calling back() and forward()
likely will not do what you want because once you navigate away from a page
whose content came from setText() that page's content is gone. So instead
of calling back() and forward() you'll have to maintain your own page
history and call setText() to navigate between pages in the history. This
is of course dependent on the fix for
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=289470 .

Hi Grant,
thank you for your answer, that's exactly my problem. I even have a
problem layouting the browser-component so I think I want to try another
component.
Can you give me a hint, what SWT-Components can show HTML-text (not the
structured text...)
I will implement the back/forward-functionality for my self, too.

Thanx for your help
Markus

The only other SWT control that can show text with varying colours, styles,
etc. is StyledText. However it will not accept an HTML string as input
(existing request for this:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=212829 ).

What layout problem are you having with the Browser? It shouldn't be
different from other controls w.r.t. giving it a size and location. Or is
your problem with the layout of its content? The one thing that a Browser
cannot do is pack() to a preferred size that's ideal for showing its current
content.
