Steve,

 

I read the document and understand the consequences of subclassing. But the Subclassing is a feature of any object-oriented language and when someone creates a subclass he/she is aware of consequences the subclassing can have. In my case I wanted to subclass the component to add some extra features like my custom table with few predefined menu whose functionality is fixed. These things can be achieved from composition but that is not the right way to do in case of Java.

 

Thanx

- Samir

It is sad to learn today that SWT does not allow subclassing 
the Widgets. Can somebody throw some light on it as why this is being 
restricted?

Thanx
