[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Passing events from Widget to Widget

[Matthew Hall <matthall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Display.post expects a point in the display's coordinate system, so I 
think you have to translate the shell's coordinates to the display's:

            Point toDisplay = s.toDisplay( event.x, event.y );
            event.x = toDisplay.x;
            event.y = toDisplay.y;
            s.close();
            display.post( event );

Hope this helps,

Matthew
