  • Constructor Details

    • Link

      public Link(Composite parent, int style)
      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 the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT 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

    • addSelectionListener

      public void addSelectionListener(SelectionListener listener)
      Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when the control is selected by the user, by sending it one of the messages defined in the SelectionListener interface.

      widgetSelected is called when the control is selected by the user. widgetDefaultSelected is not called.

      Parameters:
      listener - the listener which should be notified
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException -
      • ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener 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

      Note: This operation is a hint and may be overridden by the platform.

      Parameters:
      color - the new color (or null)
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException -
      • ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the argument has been disposed

    • setOrientation

      void setOrientation(boolean create)
      Overrides:
      setOrientation in class Control

    • setText

      public void setText(String string)
      Sets the receiver's text.

      The string can contain both regular text and hyperlinks. A hyperlink is delimited by an anchor tag, <a> and </a>. Within an anchor, a single HREF attribute is supported. When a hyperlink is selected, the text field of the selection event contains either the text of the hyperlink or the value of its HREF, if one was specified. In the rare case of identical hyperlinks within the same string, the HREF attribute can be used to distinguish between them. The string may include the mnemonic character and line delimiters. The only delimiter the HREF attribute supports is the quotation mark ("). Text containing angle-bracket characters < or > may be escaped using \\, however this operation is a hint and varies from platform to platform.

      Mnemonics are indicated by an '&' that causes the next character to be the mnemonic. The receiver can have a mnemonic in the text preceding each link. When the user presses a key sequence that matches the mnemonic, focus is assigned to the link that follows the text. Mnemonics in links and in the trailing text are ignored. 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.

      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
