Back to RWTOverview

Class Control

Currently implemented:

  • visibility
  • enablement
  • tooltip text
  • colors
  • fonts
  • context menu
  • size, location and layout data
  • borders (style flags BORDER and FLAT)
  • the methods moveAbove and moveBelow to control the z-order

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).

The current implementation of Shell comprises the following features:

  • get/set text (title bar caption)
  • style flags CLOSE, MIN, MAX, RESIZE
  • style APPLICATION_MODAL (in favor of SYSTEM_MODAL and PRIMARY_MODAL) that allows to build modal shells that block all other shells in the same browser window.
  • ShellListener
  • layout and pack work 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)
