Creating an email-recipient like widget [message #673748] Tue, 24 May 2011 15:52

Hello

I am fairly new to SWT development but I have a very specific kind of widget in mind and wondering how to best implement this using the SWT.

The widget is similar to the widgets you will see in some email applications when entering the recipients. So in the beginning there should be just a text input field in which the user can type in some text. In this case the text will be a class or method name. Once entering a whitespace character such as enter, tab or space the text should be replaced by the widget, which should look something like this:
index.php/fa/2821/0/

index.php/fa/2822/0/

The Star and the "X" should be clickable with the Star having a toggle semantic and the X beeing used to delete the widget.

The user should then be able to edit the widget by doubleclicking on the name and changing the text like this:
index.php/fa/2823/0/

index.php/fa/2824/0/

index.php/fa/2825/0/

Could you give any advise to me on how to go about implementing this?
Should I try to customize a Button and replace it with a Text widget when necessary? How do I get such fine-grained control over the appearance?

Thanks
Niklas
