I'm trying to develop a specific editor using FormEditor but I cannot
have my text widgets displayed with a flat look.
Here is a snippet of my code :
public class SubsystemForm extends FormPage {
[...]
/**
* Create Form content
*/
protected void createFormContent(IManagedForm managedForm) {
ScrolledForm form = managedForm.getForm();
FormToolkit toolkit = managedForm.getToolkit();
form.setText("Subsystem");
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout();
layout.numColumns = 2;
form.getBody().setLayout(layout);
[...]
Label descLbl = toolkit.createLabel(form.getBody(),
"subsystem.description", SWT.WRAP);
Text descTxt = toolkit.createText(form.getBody(), "", SWT.BORDER);
descTxt.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL));
[...]
}
[...]
}
From the samples I've seen, all text widgets have flat looks but I
cannot reproduce it. I'm running Eclipse 3.1 final ...
I'm probably missing something but I have not found any clue so far.

HI,
don't specify SWT.BORDER - this creates the native (non-flat) border and
disables the form-specific border drawing.

I did, but it doesn't change anything ... do you have an example of code
that works so I can compare with my own ?

Hi Lorenz,
When I don't specify SWT.BORDER (e.g. using only SWT.SINGLE as style) I
don't have any border at all. Even if I invoke toolkit.paintBordersFor(form)
Do you an example of code that so that I can compare with my own ?

Thanks a lot Roland, now it works. I was almost there except that I
invoked paintBordersFor() on the form itself instead of its body which
is actually the immediate parent composite of my widget.
So the proper code that works for me is actually :
Text txt = toolkit.createText(form.getBody(), "", SWT.NONE);
txt.setData(FormToolkit.KEY_DRAW_BORDER, FormToolkit.TEXT_BORDER);
toolkit.paintBordersFor(form.getBody());
Thanks everybody for your help.
