[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Draw custom text on Table
Thank you, works fine (except the weight of the label - it it very short, I'll have probably to hardcore the weight of the label)

Putting a Label on the Table should work, snippet: 

public static void main(String[] args) {
    final Display display = new Display();
    final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
    shell.setBounds(10,10,200,200);
    shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
    Table table = new Table(shell, SWT.NONE);
    table.setLinesVisible(true);
    table.setHeaderVisible(true);
    shell.open();
    Label label = new Label(table, SWT.CENTER);
    label.setBackground(table.getBackground());
    label.setBounds (5, table.getHeaderHeight(), table.getSize().x - 2 * 5,
table.getItemHeight());
    label.setText("no items here");
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
        if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
    }
    display.dispose();
}

Hi Agata,

Ok. Looks like SWT-Table doesn't support SWT-Paint :-( The only trick I
now see is that you are setting a background image which has the draw
back that it is rendered behind the Grid-Lines (you could turn them of
of course).

I've CC'ed the swt-newsgroup maybe some of the others has a better idea.
