[platform-swt-dev] Mac OS X port: Tree/MacUtil question

[Martin Sturzenhecker <msturzen@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Andre,

Today I started looking over the DataBrowser again.
Browsing both the Carbon API and the SWT hierarchy I found you use the 
Carbon function "newControl()" to create and embed new controls in 
"MacUtil.newControl()".
The Carbon API says using the native function "newControl()" is not 
recommended but instead use "GetNewControl()"
Do you use "newControl()" by purpose or by *accident* ?
I think we should try to migrate to using the _new_ method 
"GetNewControl()" except you know any reason why not.

ControlManager API:

I´d really like to implement the Carbon Tree. But this will take some 
time, since I don´t know how much I can work on it.
