I want to use the JFace PopupDialog as lightweight dialog for user input. But I have some problems with the background color of text widgets. As you can see below in 1 , a SWT.MULTI text widget has no background and border, a SWT.SINGLE text widget has no background. I tried to override the background color with: Text comment = new Text(composite, SWT.MULTI|SWT.BORDER); comment.setFocus(); comment.setBackground(new Color(Display.getDefault(), new RGB(000, 000, 000))); // method of PopupDialog applyBackgroundColor(new Color(Display.getDefault(), new RGB(000, 000, 000)), comment); Does anybody

I am creating a standalone SWT/JFace application. I used to use plain old SWT MessageBox: int style = SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL | SWT.YES | SWT.NO; MessageBox messageBox = new MessageBox (getShell(), style); messageBox.setText ("Question"); messageBox.setMessage ("So?"); boolean result = messageBox.open() == SWT.YES; I try to switch to JFace MessageDialog boolean result = MessageDialog.openQuestion(getShell(), "Question", "So?"); The problem I have is that in SWT, the Yes and No button labels are translated in my language, while in JFace it is not the case. Any idea? My referenced jars are swt 3.8

In a elipse-rcp application I am setting the background color for a row in a jface table but I don't want the selection to change this color. I want to be able to specify the color change for a selected row. VonC According to this thread , for JFace Viewers ( ListViewer , Table , Tree ) by means of using EraseItem and MeasureItem events General principle detailed in the article " Custom Drawing Table and Tree Items " SWT.EraseItem : allows a client to custom draw a cell's background and/or selection, and to influence whether the cell's foreground should be drawn ks. table.addListener(SWT

The app is an Eclipse 3.6 based RCP (so jface version 3.5.2) running on windows 7. I have a custom View class that contains a TableViewer and calls refresh() on it. Sometimes, but not very often it results in the stack trace below. It's called from within the UI thread. I suspected the problem was with other code that changes the backing list to the table, but that any code that does this is also run in either a syncExec or asyncExec method so I don't understand how it could be a synchronisation issue between the changing of table items and the refresh of the viewer. Any ideas what i can do to

I'm looking for a Combo(Viewer) in SWT/JFace which supports autocomplete / type-ahead, i.e. the user can enter a couple of characters and the drop down list should show all matching elements. You can also check out the org.eclipse.jface.fieldassist.AutoCompleteField class. It's not a combo, just a text field, but it adds auto complete functionality as if it were a combo very easily. You can do something as simple as this: Text textField = new Text(parentComposite, SWT.BORDER); new AutoCompleteField(textField, new TextContentAdapter(), new String[] {"autocomplete option 1", "autocomplete option

I have built a simple Eclipse plugin where a user may use a TableViewer of database resources to open an editor on any of those resources. Users may therefore have zero upwards instances of the editor running. Is there an API available to get a list of those editor instances? You can get references to all open editors with: PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow() .getActivePage().getEditorReferences(); And then check these to select the ones that reference instances of your editor type. According to the javadoc for the API a workbench can have several windows, and a window can
