Image Map [message #1016782]

I want to display an Image that contains clickable areas, similar to the HTML <map> element an its associated image.

Displaying the image is quite easy, but I would like to give feedback to the user if it enters a clickable area by changing the appearance of the cursor.

How can I do this without using the browser widget?

Hi.

I could think of two ways to do this.

One way could be to position composites with transparent backgrounds and
custom cursors on top of the image. Use SWT.INHERIT_FORCE or CSS theming
to get the transparent background.

Another could be to use ClientScripting[1] with the mousemove event. Add
a ClientListener to the widget that displays the image, then in the
script set the cursor depending on the coordinates.

See if one of these works for you.

Greetings,
Tim
