Where are the FileDialog and Color picker widgets?

Where is the Palette widget for this:

Thanks!

FileDialog is a dialog; not a widget

[diltonm]

Guess I used the wrong term also guessing your response means you guys have no plans to add these to the Palette Manager.

Thanks for the response.

FileDialog isn't a widget so it can't be placed into a window, so it doesn't make sense to add it to the palette.

What color picker are you referring to?

[diltonm]

You're right, widget doesn't apply. In tools like Visual Studio, NetBeans, Gambas, the "tools" palette has a Dialogs section. That's what I was referring to.

SWT Designer is only a GUI builder, so I'm not sure what you would do with a FileDialog on the palette since it couldn't be dropped on a window.

Well, I tried this earlier today, I used "Choose Composite" and specified FileDialog. SWT Designer added a Bean called FileDialog to the bottom of the Palette Manager.

I then dragged it to the window and the only place the X didn't show up was the title bar so I dropped it there.

The properties window was populated with the FileDialog properties and I was able to edit them.

Switching back to Source view, the code was oddly placed at the top of createPartControl and the FileDialog constructor was not filled in.

I understand it does not work since Designer was not designed to let the user work with common dialog controls.

Thanks.

Note that v7.0 does not allow this.
