Re: [platform-swt-dev] SWT.DRAW_MNEMONIC

Right, I forgot about the fact that
the ampersand only disappears when you specify DRAW_MNEMONIC. Therefore
it's necessary if you want to measure text like it will be rendered with
DRAW_MNEMONIC.

David suggested that the mnemonic support
may have been added for custom widgets. E.g., a custom button would want
a mnemonic. Is that the (only) use case?

Hi Knut,

I'm not sure (didn't try), but using DRAW_MNEMONIC will case the &
to 
disappear and the following letter to be underlined, this would make a
difference in the width.

What was the motivation for adding this flag to GC.drawText? It seems that
only widgets should allow/need to support mnemonic characters. 
Also, the doc for GC.textExtent mentions DRAW_MNEMONIC as one of the valid
flags. I wouldn't think it actually makes a difference when measuring 
text.
