RE: [platform-swt-dev] Storing Objects in CCombo

SWT doesn't work that way.  You'll have to provide strings for the combo.  You can use setData() to store an array of objects witht he combo and map the selected index back to an item in the array.  If the combo is editable, this obviously won't work because the user can enter an item that isn't in the list.

Via the object.toString() method? That's how Swing works.

How should a CCombo list render an 'object'?

Greetings list, I'm a SWT newbie but have worked with Swing for a
while.....I've done a fair amount of searching my question, and failed
miserably to find a solution to my question.

Is there a way to store Objects in the CCombo list? It appears from the API
that the only method available to set a combobox component list is
setData(String[]). Is there a method that allows storing Objects? Or is
there another Widget I should use for a Combo box?

TIA
