I'm trying to avoid writing a button widget, but I'm not sure how I'd go
about getting a gc on a button.
From the snippets, this seems to be the only way I can change it.
button.addPaintListener(new PaintListener()
{
public void paintControl(PaintEvent e)
{
e.gc.setBackground(Display.getDefault().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_BLUE));
}
});
but it doesn't work, and the color still stays grey.
