Actually, you can edit TitleAreaDialogs right now with SWT Designer...we just haven't created a wizard that will create new ones for you. Give the following template a try...

Code: Select all

import org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.TitleAreaDialog;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Control;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

public class TitleAreaDialogTemplate extends TitleAreaDialog {

   public TitleAreaDialogTemplate(Shell parentShell) {
      super(parentShell);
      setTitle("TitleAreDialog title");
      setMessage("TitleAreDialog message");
   }

   protected Control createDialogArea(Composite parent) {
      Composite area = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);
      return area;
   }
}

You will be able to edit (and see) all of the dialog attributes except the dialog's title, title image and message (you will need to edit those by hand in the source). Once we added a dedicated wizard to support TitleAreaDialogs, you will be able to edit and see those attributes as well.
