Designer 7.0 Label image selector wizard

Postby octavio » Sat Apr 18, 2009 4:03 pm

In the prior version of SWT Designer, the image selector wizard would generate code similar to:
addButton.setImage(ResourceManager.getPluginImage(Activator.getDefault(),"icons/guiops/Add.png"));

7.0 does not ask for the activator class and generates the following code when selecting the plugin resource option within the image selector dialog:
button.setImage(ResourceManager.getPluginImage("com.oxbsystems.client", "icons/guiops/Add.png"));
This code does not display an image in design view nor in the preview.

After the wizard closes the image property field in the design view remains empty...Code is generated as mentioned above, but the view does not reflect any changes.

I assume this a bug in 7.0... (I'm running ubuntu 8.10 64 bit)

The code is generated correctly for the new ResourceManager included with 7.0. There was a bug that was just fixed that prevented SWT Designer from updating the RM class with the new APIs. You did not see the image because your project still had the older version of the RM class. Update to the latest 7.0.0 build and try the image selection wizard again.
