[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Control.setParent() under Windows

[Tom Schindl <tom.schindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't get an answer here I can point you to the albeiro-newsgroup 
which deals with Swing/AWT-SWT integration problems and people might 
know more about the issues you can run into.

I would also suggest that your message title could have been better by 
integrating Swing so people from this project skimming the newsgroups 
take a look at your question.

I copied your request to this newsgroup.

See http://www.eclipse.org/albireo/
