Re: [platform-swt-dev] CheckBox MenuItem

Note that questions like this are better asked in the Eclipse newsgroup.

You can't add a checkbox item to a menu bar itself, but to a menu item that
descends from a menu bar:

public static void main(String[] args) {
      final Shell s = new Shell();
      final Display d = s.getDisplay();
      s.setBounds(100, 100, 100, 100);
      s.setMenuBar(new Menu(s,SWT.BAR));
      MenuItem mii = new MenuItem(s.getMenuBar(),SWT.CASCADE);
      mii.setText("Drop down");
      Menu m = new Menu(s.getMenuBar());
      mii.setMenu(m);
      MenuItem i1 = new MenuItem(m,SWT.CHECK);
      i1.setText("Checkmark item");
      s.open();
      while (!s.isDisposed()) {
            if (!d.readAndDispatch())
                  d.sleep();
      }
}

On a popup:

public static void main(String[] args) {
      Shell s = new Shell();
      Display d = s.getDisplay();
      s.setBounds(10,10,100,100);
      Table t = new Table(s,SWT.NONE);
      t.setBounds(10,10,80,60);
      Menu m = new Menu(t);
      MenuItem mi = new MenuItem(m,SWT.CHECK);
      mi.setText("Menu Item");
      t.setMenu(m);
      s.open();
      while(!s.isDisposed()) {
            if(!d.readAndDispatch()) d.sleep();
      }
}

All,

Is it possible to create CheckBox Menu Item in SWT? I don't see that is
being use in Eclipse itself, I am wondering if I can create an eclipse
plugins with CheckBox Menu Item on the menu bar and on the popup menu also.
If yes, can you tell me where I can find an example.

Thank you.
