Class Control
Currently implemented:
- visibility
- enablement
- tooltip text
- colors
- fonts
- context menu
- size, location and layout data
- borders (style flags
BORDERandFLAT) - the methods
moveAboveandmoveBelowto control the z-order - setDefaultButton
Class Composite
Class Group
A basic implementation exists. The various SHADOW styles are not yet supported. Though API for changing the font exists as it is inherited from Control using those methods has not effect client-side.
Class Shell
In contrary to SWT, Shells in RWT do not represent browser windows, but reside in a browser window (which in turn is represented by class Display).
As of now the inheritance hierarchy of class Shell does not match SWT (whose Shell inherits from Decorations). As soon as there exists the class Decorations in RWT, we will fix this.
The current implementation of Shell comprises the following features:
- get/set text and image (title bar)
- style flags
CLOSE,MIN,MAX,RESIZE - style
APPLICATION_MODAL(in favor ofSYSTEM_MODALandPRIMARY_MODAL) that allows to build modal shells that block all other shells in the same browser window. - ShellListener
-
layoutandpackwork as in SWT. That means most of the SWT-Snipptes now run with almost no modification (replace SWT by RWT and remove the event loop)
