New Text style (including icons) [message #646332]

Hi,
I'm using Eclipse Galileo 3.5.0, and I like to have a Text with the style available in Helios, with the icons (search and clear) inside the Text (like the Preferences page text search).

I try the following:

Text text = new Text(parent, SWT.SEARCH | SWT.ICON_CANCEL | SWT.ICON_SEARCH);

But it doesn't work, it doesn't show the icons inside the Text.

It's possible that this appearance is not available in Galileo? I see the information of the Text class, and this styles are available, but has no effect... Any idea?

Thanks!
Marc

Hi,

SWT.ICON_CANCEL and SWT.ICON_SEARCH styles are currently hints (the javadoc specifies that its a HINT). So, you'll be able to see the icons inside the Text control only on platforms that support this style.
This style is currently supported on Mac and newer GTK versions (> =2.16) but not on windows.

Hi Lakshmi,

I'm using Ubuntu, and it appears that I'm using gtk 2.22. In Helios I see the icons inside the Text, but in Galileo icons don't appear...

Sorry Marc, this style is supported on GTK only from Helios. In Galileo, this was supported only on Mac. Please see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281352
