Re: [platform-swt-dev] Custom Controls and Package-Private Methods

[Thomas Singer <ts-swt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Conrad,

Thanks for replying. I thought about the Widget#sendEvent(int, Event), 
but now have noticed there already is a public 
Widget#notifyListeners(int, Event) which invokes the first.

BTW, Widget#notifyListeners(int, Event) creates an event if null was 
passed, though the called Widget#sendEvent(int, Event, boolean) already 
does.
