[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Problems using Component Browser

[markus.oley@xxxxxxxxxxx (Markus Oley)]

Hi Grant, 
thank you for your answer, that's exactly my problem. I even have a 
problem layouting the browser-component so I think I want to try another 
component. 
Can you give me a hint, what SWT-Components can show HTML-text (not the 
structured text...) 
I will implement the back/forward-functionality for my self, too. 

Thanx for your help
Markus
