Java Forum / GUI / July 2004SWT/JFace StyledText box vs URLs
Is there a SWT/JFace equivalent (maybe via StyledText) to the RichText control in .NET? Specifically, I'm looking for an easy way to display text in a box and have the box automatically detect and highlight URLs, then raise an event if the user clicks on the URL. Do I need to cobble up a custom content manager for my StyledText box? Any other ideas? Thanks...

Format it as HTML and drop it in a JEditorPAne with an HyperlinkListener attached.

Thanks, but how does this play with SWT/JFace? Isn't JEditorPane a Swing thing? I haven't seen this in my SWT 2.1 docs. I'm working with a SWT app and want to stick with SWT for cross-platform native look-and-feel. Mike (JEdtiorPane) > Thanks, but how does this play with SWT/JFace? Doesn't, merely an 'existing alternative'. SignatureAndrew Thompson http://www.PhySci.org/ Open-source software suite http://www.PhySci.org/codes/ Web & IT Help http://www.1point1C.org/ Science & Technology OK, thanks again. I've discovered I can embed Swing things into SWT widgets, so there might be some hope of doing this. But alas, the docs don't indicate this works for all platforms I need to support. Oh well...
