Hi,

I noticed that on several controls (in SWT Designer) the "orientation" property is shown only as an integer, instead of showing the RIGHT_TO_LEFT/LEFT_TO_RIGHT constants.

The textbox control shows it properly, but the Button and Label (and others), do not.

OK, Eclipse 3.7 adds this property for Control, so we should declare it there too.
Fixed in trunk.

By the way, there seems to be a drawing issue with RTL shells using GridLayout.

I set shell.setOrientation(SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT); in the source, and then added some buttons, and i noticed that the grid itself is still being drawn on the left side of the screen. The controls on the other hand, were placed correctly.

And another interesting problem, try adding a Composite to that RTL shell, and add a button the that composite. Moving the button around seems to be moving it to the opposite direction.

Do you use absolute layout?
Try to use GridLayout instead.

GridLayout inside the main RTL shell and AbsoluteLayout inside the LTR composite will trigger the bug.

GridLayout in RTL shell and GridLayout in LTR composite will be ok.

But don't forgot the other bug I reported - when using a GridLayout on an RTL shell, the grid in WindowBuilder is being drawn as if it's LTR.

Can you please open bugs in Bugzilla, so that I did not forget them?

Yes, it seems that for GridLayout drop feedbacks are OK for RTL, but grid is displayed as for LTR.

Bugs created:

Thanks!

Btw, when are you expecting to release an update?

We have been releasing new integration builds rolling up all bug fixes pretty much every week.

Our next release build will come out when Eclipse 3.7.1 comes out.

Eric, so to get the weekly builds I just have to open up Eclipse's "Install New Software" and choose "Eclipse 3.7 WindowBuilder Repo - http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/3.7" ?

I noticed that you still offer to download WB from Google. Is "http://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/" the new home for WB?

Yes.

That download also includes GWT Designer. The Eclipse download does not.

Yes. That has been the case for the last six months or so.

I've just updated to the latest build, and it seems that changing the orientation field once makes the combo box of the property remain stuck in the same position, no matter which other control you select.

Can not reproduce.
Do you have any exceptions in "Error Log" view?
