Re: [platform-ui-dev] Eclipse view plugin: swing problem

["Benoit LeBel" <ben.lebel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you Boris,

I will take your advice and post to the eclipse.plateform group. But just in case someone here would have a quick answer for me, I will post more details.

Running
Windows Vista 32bit
Java 1.6
Eclipse 3.4.0

You are absolutly correct, my setFocus() method was empty. I started off with a sample project and stripped off all of the useless stuff out of it (apparently I took too much off). I tryed to set the focus. But i dont seem to be able to know to what. I will include a complete code snippet if it may help.

package ftie.views;

import javax.swing.*;

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.ui.part.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.awt.SWT_AWT;
import org.eclipse.ui.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;


public class FtieView extends ViewPart {

    Composite swtAwtComponent;
    java.awt.Frame frame;
    Ftie_ui ui;

    public FtieView() {
    }

    public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
        try{
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsLookAndFeel");
        }catch (Exception e){
            //TODO: manage exception
        }
        
        swtAwtComponent = new Composite(parent, SWT.EMBEDDED);
        frame = SWT_AWT.new_Frame( swtAwtComponent ); 
        ui = new Ftie_ui();
        frame.add(ui);

    }


    public void setFocus() {

    }
}



package ftie.views;

import javax.swing.*;

public class Ftie_ui extends JPanel{

    JLabel labelUser;
    JLabel labelPass;
    JTextField txtUser;
    JPasswordField txtPass;
    JButton btnLogin;
    
    
    public Ftie_ui()
    {
        //TODO: add layout
        
        labelUser = new JLabel();
        labelUser.setText("Username:");
        
        labelPass = new JLabel();
        labelPass.setText("Password:");
        
        txtUser = new JTextField(20);
        txtUser.setEditable(true);
        txtUser.setEnabled(true);
        
        txtPass = new JPasswordField(20);

        btnLogin = new JButton("Login");
        
        add(labelUser);
        add(labelPass);
        add(txtUser);
        add(txtPass);
        add(btnLogin);
    }
}

The second best place would be a bug report.

My guess would be that you did not implement your part's setFocus()
method, but it is hard to tell without a complete code snippet, and
without knowing the platform (Windows? GTK? Mac/Carbon?) and the
Eclipse version (3.3? 3.4?).
