Re: [platform-swt-dev] Background color for button

[David_Whiteman@xxxxxxx]

SWT uses the native button for each supported platform and windowing system.  On Windows, setting the background color has no effect on the native button (unlike some other platforms).  If you really want a different color on your buttons on Windows, you'd have to develop a custom button widget that supported this.

Hi all,

We are beginning development with SWT and want to put a dynamic color on
some buttons.
Is it possible to change the button's color ?
We tried the setBackground methos for the button object, but nothing
happened. We did the same thing with setText and setImage and it works fine.
Does someone has an idea ?

Thks,

Eric Barthelemy
