Custom widgets with style property

[motse1]

Hi all,

I have to adapt our custom widgets to be used together with SWT Designer 6.6. The custom widget is (as needed) a subclass of Composite.
As for every composite it is possible to set a few SWT-styles in the SWT-Designer UI properties. My current problem is how do I get
SWT-Designer to show further styles that are supported by our custom widgets in the porperties UI?

Greetings

That is not possible in the current version of SWT Designer (as it is not supported by the current JavaBean spec).

While you can overload the style argument in the constructor to do anything you want, it is really only meant to be used to pass known SWT styles to the widget.

We do plan to offer a way to do this in the future, but, for now, you would need to use a standard bean property instead.
