a populate method?

[peterday]

is it possible to configure SWT designer to generate code in which widgets are placed (in terms of layout) in the createPartControl method, but the widgets are populated in a seperate (public) method - so they can be populated with values from a passed object or refresh from a database etc...

If so, is it also posible to generate individual populate methods for different composites.

Hope this makes sense......

I'm not entire sure what you are asking. A code example would be helpful.

In general, you can refactor the generated code almost any way that you like.

You can also specify (via preferences) what method Designer generates code into.
