Re: [platform-swt-dev] Mixing SWT and AWT/Swing

Yes, that question does come up quite often.  I'd advise searching through the newsgroup since several examples have been posted there.  The newsgroup is a better place to ask usage questions, whereas this mailing list is appropriate for questions pertaining to extending SWT, porting it to another platform, or fixing SWT bugs.

That said, I do think the SWT developer resources page could use some info or snippets regarding SWT/AWT integration.  You'll see the start of the SWT FAQ and snippet list here:

Hello SWTians,

I am a newbie in SWT programming and I have a question you probably get quite often:

Is it possible to mix SWT and AWT | Swing components?

More specifically, I am interested in including SWT controls inside AWT frames. 
I have a couple of existing dull Frames that could use a little "life"...

I have tried using the SWT_AWT.new_Panel method but to no result.
Unfortunately, it does not come with any documentation so as to give me a hint.
BTW, why, when calling that method, do the relevant controls get "erased" from screen?

(I have a feeling that SWT and AWT are incompatible due to the different event mechanisms, but then again I may be wrong...)

I would be grateful if you could point me to a relevant link or a simple how-to example so I can get started. (provided, of course, such a mixture is possible)

In case you have already answered a similar question in the forum, you may as well point me to that answer.

Thank you for your time,

Best regards,
