Hi,

I want to add a kind of gauge in my SWT application to indicate the users the level of resource usage.
For each call to a resource constructor (new Label, new Text, etc), I increment a counter.
I also add a DisposeListener to decrement this counter.

I have two questions :

- Although some resources such as GC, Cursor or Dialog have a dispose method they don't have a addDisposeListener one... I don't understand why ?

- What is the maximum number of widgets (resources etc) ?

Thanks !
Helene

You could use Sleak/Spy tool for monitoring SWT widget leaks in your application, refer more details at: https://www.eclipse.org/swt/tools.php
Related article on Sleak: https://www.eclipse.org/articles/swt-design-2/sleak.htm

Note: Sleak can be used in standalone applications as well as via eclipse plugin(update site: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/updates/4.4 )

Niraj
