[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: [How to] SWT -> Listeners for MenuItem

["Didier Montet" <didier.montet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry Steve, the comportment is the same with eclipse 3.1RC1 and Windows XP.
In fact the text is well displayed in the status line for each item of the
menu bar after you have clicked once on one of them.
But there is no need to click in the menu bar to see its items displayed in
3D when the mouse cursor is over them.
Which event is trapped to do that? who is the receiver?
Thanks a lot
