[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: SWT - Looks not like it should... or doe

[Stefan Serafin <stefan.serafin@xxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot! Now the application looks really much better. This manifest
file eliminates the problems 2.) 3.) and 5.).

I've found the solution for my border problem, too. I missed the style
SWT.BORDER. Now the GUI looks really good and has a great feel thanks
SWT :-)

Anyway I'm coufused that GTK draws the borders by its own and win32
doesn't. This different behavior needs more time for tests on several
platforms... but that's okay... that's native :)

Thx again
Stefan


By the way, why does the class SWT contains ALL style flags? What was the
intention for this implementation? I cannot see an adventage. I think
it's confusing, because there are flags like SWT.WRAP which you could use
in a Label, but it wouldn't make any sense. Why haven't you put the flag
SWT.WRAP into the Text class? So developers would know, that legal flags
for a Text's style are Text.WRAP or Text.'FLAG'?




The initialization of a simple Text is: new Text(composite, SWT.);
