SWT Designer Palette

SWT Designer provides the following palette for creating SWT, JFace and RCP applications.

The palette may be fully configured using the Palette Manager.

	Composite - Instances of this class are controls which are capable of containing other controls. Group - Instances of this class provide an etched border with an optional title. ScrolledComposite - Instances of this class are controls which are capable of containing other controls within a scrolling frame. SashForm - The SashForm lays out its children in a Row or Column arrangement (as specified by the orientation) and places a Sash between the children. TabFolder - Instances of this class implement the notebook user interface metaphor. It allows the user to select a notebook page from set of pages. TabItem - Instances of this class represent a selectable user interface object corresponding to a tab for a page in a tab folder. CTabFolder - Instances of this class implement the notebook user interface metaphor. It allows the user to select a notebook page from set of pages. CTabItem - Instances of this class represent a selectable user interface object that represent a page in a notebook widget. ViewForm - Instances of this class implement a Composite that lays out three children horizontally and allows programmatic control of layout and border parameters. ViewForm is used in the workbench to implement a view's label/menu/toolbar local bar. CBanner - Instances of this class implement a Composite that lays out its children and allows programmatic control of the layout. It draws a separator between the left and right children which can be dragged to resize the right control. CBanner is used in the workbench to layout the toolbar area and perspective switching toolbar.
	Absolute (null) Layout - A null layout displays components with specified bounds. FillLayout - FillLayout is the simplest layout class.

ProgressCircle - This widget is a graphical presentation of a ratio.
ColumnLayout - This layout manager arranges children of the composite parent in vertical columns. All the columns are identical size and children are stretched horizontally to fill the column width. The goal is to give layout some reasonable range of column numbers to allow it to handle various parent widths. That way, column number will drop to the lowest number in the range when width decreases, and grow up to the highest number in the range when allowed by the parent width. TableWrapLayout - This implementation of the layout algorithm attempts to position controls in the composite using a two-pass autolayout HTML table algorithm recommeded by HTML 4.01 W3C specification. The main differences with GridLayout is that it has two passes and that width and height are not calculated in the same pass. Button - Instances of this class represent a selectable user interface object that issues notification when pressed and released. Composite - Instances of this class are controls which are capable of containing other controls. Composite Separator - Creates the composite that can serve as a separator between various parts of a form. Separator height should be controlled by setting the height hint on the layout data for the composite. Label - Instances of this class represent a non-selectable user interface object that displays a string or image. When SEPARATOR is specified, displays a single vertical or horizontal line. Hyperlink - Hyperlink is a concrete implementation of the abstract base class that draws text in the client area. Text can be wrapped and underlined. Hyperlink is typically added to the hyperlink group so that certain properties are managed for all the hyperlinks that belong to it. ImageHyperlink - This class extends hyperlink widget by adding the capability to render an image relative to the text. If no text has been set, only image will be shown. Images for hover and active states can be set in addition to the normal state image. FormText - This class is a read-only text control that is capable of rendering wrapped text. Text can be rendered as-is or by parsing the formatting XML tags. Independently, words that start with http:// can be converted into hyperlinks on the fly. Separator - A horizontal or vertical line used to separate other controls.

Text - Instances of this class are selectable user interface objects that allow the user to enter and modify text. Tree - Instances of this class provide a selectable user interface object that displays a hierarchy of items and issue notification when an item in the hierarchy is selected. ExpandableComposite - This composite is capable of expanding or collapsing a single client that is its direct child. The composite renders an expansion toggle affordance (according to the chosen style), and a title that also acts as a hyperlink (can be selected and is traversable). The client is layed out below the title when expanded, or hidden when collapsed. Section - A variation of the expandable composite that adds optional description below the title. Section is often used as a basic building block in forms because it provides for logical grouping of information. Form - Form is a custom control that renders a title and an optional background image above the body composite. It can be used alone when part of parents that are scrolled. If scrolling is required, use ScrolledForm instead because it has an instance of Form and adds scrolling capability. ScrolledForm - ScrolledForm is a control that is capable of scrolling an instance of the Form class. It should be created in a parent that will allow it to use all the available area (for example, a shell, a view or an editor). New - Adds new subclass of Action to this form and allows to drop it on design canvas. External - Allows to select some existing Action type (in separate external class) and drop it on design canvas.
