I'm creating one swt project . In that i have 1 dialog with 4 buttons.
What i need:
With one Button which is enable if i click then other will enable and this will disable.
And again from other button if i click all other should disable and 1st one should enable.

How I'm doing
Simple way to do this is create one function which invert the visibility. and call that method from widget Selection event.

What i want
Is there is any other way (Standard) to do this like using fireevent.


Thanks

Hi sumit,

the JFace Databinding might be an alternative :

DataBindingContext dbc = new DataBindingContext();
        Button button1 = new Button(parent, SWT.PUSH);
        Button button2 = new Button(parent, SWT.PUSH);
        ISWTObservableValue observeEnabledButton1 = SWTObservables.observeEnabled(button1);
        ISWTObservableValue observeEnabledButton2 = SWTObservables.observeEnabled(button2);
        
        UpdateValueStrategy updateValueStrategy = new UpdateValueStrategy();
        updateValueStrategy.setConverter(new IConverter() {
            
            @Override
            public Object getToType() {
                return Boolean.TYPE;
            }
            
            @Override
            public Object getFromType() {
                return Boolean.TYPE;
            }
            
            @Override
            public Object convert(Object fromObject) {
                if(fromObject instanceof Boolean){
                    // return inverse to disable the other button
                    return ((Boolean) fromObject).booleanValue() ? Boolean.FALSE : Boolean.TRUE;
                }
                return Boolean.FALSE;
            }
        });
        
        dbc.bindValue(observeEnabledButton1, observeEnabledButton2, updateValueStrategy, updateValueStrategy);


With that solution the enabled state of button1 is always the oppisite of the enabled state of button2 and the other way round.
So with that binding you only need to disable the button you just clicked and the other button will be enabled automatically by the binding.

@see JFace Databinding

Hope that helps and it is what you have asked for.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,
Sorry for asking you again.
I tried your code, at starting time it works means button1 is disable and button2 is enable. But if i click button2 and its listener am disabling it but other button is still in disable mode . I'm putting my code:

Button button1 = new Button(parent, SWT.NONE);
button1.setText("hello");
final Button button2 = new Button(parent, SWT.NONE);
button2.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
		@Override
		public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
		     button2.setEnabled(false);
		}
	});
button2.setText("world");
ISWTObservableValue observeEnabledButton1 = SWTObservables.observeEnabled(button1);
ISWTObservableValue observeEnabledButton2 = SWTObservables.observeEnabled(button2);
UpdateValueStrategy updateValueStrategy = new UpdateValueStrategy();
updateValueStrategy.setConverter(new IConverter() {
	@Override
	public Object getToType() {
 	    return Boolean.TYPE;
	}
       @Override
	public Object getFromType() {
	    return Boolean.TYPE;
	}
	@Override
        public Object convert(Object fromObject) {
	    if (fromObject instanceof Boolean) {
	   // return inverse to disable the other button
	        return ((Boolean) fromObject).booleanValue() ? Boolean.FALSE : Boolean.TRUE;
            }
	  return Boolean.FALSE;
	}
});
dbc.bindValue(observeEnabledButton1, observeEnabledButton2, updateValueStrategy, updateValueStrategy);

It is my fault.
Actually there is no enabled listener available for controls, so that you need to bind the selection of the button to the other´s enabled observable.

So this code should do the job Wink
Button button1 = new Button(parent, SWT.NONE);
button1.setText("hello");
Button button2 = new Button(parent, SWT.NONE);
button2.setText("world");
ISWTObservableValue observeSelectionButton1 = SWTObservables.observeSelection(button1);
ISWTObservableValue observeEnabledButton2 = SWTObservables.observeEnabled(button2);
dbc.bindValue(observeSelectionButton1, observeEnabledButton2);


Best regards,

Simon
