Re: [platform-swt-dev] Suggest to add a new widget in SWT

["Eric Miravete" <eric.miravete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know java.awt.ScrollPane but my suggestion is to have the same thing
in SWT. I will post a request in Bugzilla.
Our widget provides some friendly services as followings:

- shows automatically  scrollbars when they are necessary.
- translates mouse coordinates in content are.
- opens an overview popup window with a button at the right, bottom corner.
  to accelerate scrolling on very large content area.
- should be derived to specialize paint, mouse, keyboard event handlers.

Regards,

Eric.

Sounds something like java.awt.ScrollPane.  What services does it
provide over using a Composite widget with its built-in scrollbars?

If you have a widget or other code you would like to contribute, the
best thing would be to create a feature request in Bugzilla and attach
your code, docs, etc. to it.
