I believe that by "moving" columns they mean reordering them using "drag and drop".  There is currently no support for this in SWT.  Please enter a feature request against Platform SWT.  I believe you could "fake" this given the current API but it would take some work and would not look like the native mechanism.

Stig, 

As David mentioned, the best place for "how to use the SWT API" questions is the eclipse.tools newsgroup.  This mailing list is for discussions about the SWT implementation. 

To help you with the rest of your questions: 

(2) I don't know what SwingUtilities does, but do I understand you correctly that you are trying to transform the coordinates of a point from one widget's coordinates to another's?  If so, you can use toDisplay() and toControl(). 
(3) I don't quite understand what you mean by "moving" the columns.  The columns sit side by side; so moving them is always tied to resizing, for which you have setWidth().  Why is this not sufficient?

Hi

Im not sure this is the right place to ask my questions, but here they are:

I was browsing the swt api but couldnt find any components without decorations, like the javax.swing.JWindow... Doesnt there exists such a component? Is it impossible to do?

Is there a class which suplies methods like the javax.swing.SwingUtilities? Im looking for a method to convert points from one component to another. 

I was playing arround with a table and noticed how I couldnt move the columns, and couldnt find a method with a matching property. Is that impossible to do? And howcome? 

Stig Tanggaard.
