Disable Widgets in Composite

[Runar Jordahl]

I guess this question is not directly related to WindowsBuildPro, but more to SWT:

I have a button held in a composite. I then try to run the following code:

private void afterGuiOpen(Composite composite) {
composite.setEnabled(false);
}

My intention was that when disabling the composite, its’ components would also be disabled. I can see that this is not happening. What would be the normal method to disabling a composite’s components? Should I access the composite’s subcomponents and disable them “manuallyâ€

Disabling a Composite does disable its children...it just doesn't gray them out. For that, you probably need to traverse the Comoposite's children and disable each individually.

Setting a Composite invisible should also hide its children.

The best place to ask questions like this is on the Eclipse SWT newsgroup.
