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

["Veronika Irvine" <veronika_irvine@xxxxxxx>]

The methods copy, cut and paste were added to Combo in 2.1.

getEditable can be derived from the style of the widget ((combo.getStyle() &
SWT.READ_ONLY) == 0).

getSelectionCount can be derived from the result of Combo.getSelection

getCharCount can be derived from Combo.getText
