Re: [platform-swt-dev] Embedded SWT_AWT EventQueue Exceptions

You are right. The the AWT frame has
to be embedded directly into
a Composite with the SWT.EMBEDDED style.

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Embedded SWT_AWT EventQueue Exceptions

Hi All,

I found that when embedding an AWT frame into an SWT Group that I get
EventQueue NullPointerExceptions.  However, if I simply wrap the SWT
Group inside a Composite, the error goes away.  I suspect that the
SWT_AWT Frame has to be a direct child of Composite and that using a
subclass of Composite doesn't work.  Has anyone experienced this
before?  Is this a bug?  Do you agree that every SWT_AWT Frame
should
be inside a Composite and not one of Composite's subclasses?  Thanks
and details below

Here is the snippet used for the Group case:

    awtBridgeGroup = new Group (parentGroup, SWT.EMBEDDED);
    awtBridgeGroup.setLayout (new GridLayout ());
    awtBridgeGroup.setLayoutData (new GridData (GridData.FILL_BOTH));
    awtBridgeGroup.setText ("Awt Bridge");
    awtBridgeGroup.setSize (300, 300);

    awtTopFrame = SWT_AWT.new_Frame (awtBridgeGroup);


and for the Composite wrapper case:

   awtBridgeGroup = new Group (parentGroup, SWT.EMBEDDED);
    awtBridgeGroup.setLayout (new GridLayout ());
    awtBridgeGroup.setLayoutData (new GridData (GridData.FILL_BOTH));
    awtBridgeGroup.setText ("Awt Bridge");
    awtBridgeGroup.setSize (300, 300);


        Composite embeddedComposite = new Composite(awtBridgeGroup,
  
        SWT.EMBEDDED);
                
 embeddedComposite.setLayout(new GridLayout());
                
 embeddedComposite.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
                
 embeddedComposite.setSize(awtBridgeGroup.getSize().x - 5,
                    
                     
         
awtBridgeGroup.getSize().y -5);

    awtTopFrame = SWT_AWT.new_Frame (embeddedComposite);


If I don't use a composite wrapper, then I get the exception below
when closing the window.  For some reason using a subclass of
Composite to contain the SWT_AWT Frame doesn't kill off the
WComponentPeer in the AWT EventQueue?
