[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Forms API

["Teichgraf" <teichgraf@xxxxxx>]

I have a View and in that I have some controls. I read the article from:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/pde-ui-home/working/EclipseForms/EclipseForms.html

The problem is, the borders aren't drawn like they should (flat). For the 
combobox they are drawn 3d. And for the ListViewer.getList() no borders are 
drawn and even for the TextBox, which I created using the Toolkit no borders 
are drawn. If I set the flag SWT.BORDER in the Constructor of the Textbox or 
the List a 3D Border is drawn not the flat one. ???????????????????
And the 3 last Buttons, should be all in one row everyone has two columns, 
so they should be the same size or? But they are not!
I have also tested the TableWrapLayout.
??????????????????????

    //With or without this, the borders are not drawn for listEntryTxt and 
viewer
    //filterCombo has a 3D Border!  ???????????????
    toolkit.paintBordersFor(parent);
