[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Text Search Style

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

win32 does not have the notion of a Search box that is
visually-differentiated from a typical single-line Text, so no workaround is
required.  You should use the SEARCH style (assuming that your text box is
for entering search queries of course) so that your OSX users will be happy,
and users on other platforms like win32 will still get the regular Text box
as expected.  The SEARCH style just affects the appearance of a Text box, it
does not provide any function like automatic searching.
