Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to retrieve the underlying SWT control from an ISapphire part.

e.g. I want to retrieve the java.swt.widgets.Text from an ISapphirePart which is a of type PropertyEditor.

Thanks.

I used the following method to get the Text control associated with the Property Editor
The following method snippet is inside the Object run( SapphireRenderingContext context ) of the SapphireActionHandler


if ( sapphirePart instanceof SapphirePropertyEditor ) {

			SapphirePropertyEditor propertyEditor = (SapphirePropertyEditor) sapphirePart;

			ModelProperty property = propertyEditor.getProperty();

			Text javaTypeText =
				SapphirePropertyEditor.findControlForProperty( context.getComposite(), property, Text.class );

		}

If somebody knows better way to do it please post a reply.
