Class Label
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Drawable
Shadow styles are hints and may not be honored by the platform. To create a separator label with the default shadow style for the platform, do not specify a shadow style.
- Styles:
- SEPARATOR, HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL
- SHADOW_IN, SHADOW_OUT, SHADOW_NONE
- CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT, WRAP
- Events:
- (none)
Note: Only one of SHADOW_IN, SHADOW_OUT and SHADOW_NONE may be specified. SHADOW_NONE is a HINT. Only one of HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL may be specified. Only one of CENTER, LEFT and RIGHT may be specified.
IMPORTANT: This class is not intended to be subclassed.

- Restriction:
- This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.

Label
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class
SWT
which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using theint
"|" operator) two or more of thoseSWT
style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.- Parameters:
parent
- a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)style
- the style of control to construct- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
-- ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
SWTException
-- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
- ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

Method Details

getAlignment
public int getAlignment()Returns a value which describes the position of the text or image in the receiver. The value will be one ofLEFT
,RIGHT
orCENTER
unless the receiver is aSEPARATOR
label, in which case,NONE
is returned.- Returns:
- the alignment
- Throws:
SWTException
-- ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
-
getImage
Returns the receiver's image if it has one, or null if it does not.- Returns:
- the receiver's image
- Throws:
SWTException
-- ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
-
getText
Returns the receiver's text, which will be an empty string if it has never been set or if the receiver is aSEPARATOR
label.- Returns:
- the receiver's text
- Throws:
SWTException
-- ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
-
setAlignment
public void setAlignment(int alignment) Controls how text and images will be displayed in the receiver. The argument should be one ofLEFT
,RIGHT
orCENTER
. If the receiver is aSEPARATOR
label, the argument is ignored and the alignment is not changed.- Parameters:
alignment
- the new alignment- Throws:
SWTException
-- ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
-
setEnabled
public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) Description copied from class:Control
Enables the receiver if the argument istrue
, and disables it otherwise. A disabled control is typically not selectable from the user interface and draws with an inactive or "grayed" look.- Overrides:
setEnabled
in classControl
- Parameters:
enabled
- the new enabled state
-
setImage
Sets the receiver's image to the argument, which may be null indicating that no image should be displayed.- Parameters:
image
- the image to display on the receiver (may be null)- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
-- ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the image has been disposed
SWTException
-- ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
-
setText
Sets the receiver's text.This method sets the widget label. The label may include the mnemonic character and line delimiters.
Mnemonics are indicated by an '&' that causes the next character to be the mnemonic. When the user presses a key sequence that matches the mnemonic, focus is assigned to the control that follows the label. On most platforms, the mnemonic appears underlined but may be emphasised in a platform specific manner. The mnemonic indicator character '&' can be escaped by doubling it in the string, causing a single '&' to be displayed.
Note: If control characters like '\n', '\t' etc. are used in the string, then the behavior is platform dependent.
- Parameters:
string
- the new text- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
-- ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the text is null
SWTException
-- ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
