[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Cut/Copy/Paste in a Combo

["G. Filicetti" <gino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,

The task at hand is being able to connect a Combo widget that is in an
editor to the global cut/copy/paste actions.

We've been successful in modifying the code in TextActionHandler and
creating an action handler for the StyledText widget which works like a
charm.

Now we'd like to do the same thing in the Combo widget, however, we're
running into some hefty roadblocks such as:

- missing getEditable, getSelectionCount, getCaretOffset, getCharCount and
others that the text action handler uses...
- also doesn't have cut() and paste()

I recall reading about someone trying to use Action Handlers in a combo in
this newsgroup but I can't find the posting for the life of me.

If anyone has some guidance, I'd greatly appreciate it.
