Hi Dave thanks for the hint! I posted the shots to flickr.com:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ I thought of putting this stuff to the snippets or maybe to a utility class (RowCompositeUtils.attachBackgroundPainter(Control control)?). That would keep full freedom in choosing row-objects. I developed that stuff on GTK+ (at home :-)) and I'll check tomorrow on windows (at work) if everything's fine in redmond land. to resume up things, here once more (for the list) the reason for this stuff: Screenshot1 shows that a text control does not take the whole vertical space in a column (same applies to checkboxes) if there are combos and buttons in the same row. If you put the background-color to the text-control only, it looks very ugly. It is no solution to stretch the text-control to fit to the vertical size of the row. Text control vertical align text to the top. Screenshot2 shows the results after appending my little paintListener. I fill the 'column'-area in the row with the same color as the control. Things look now right! Control rowControl = control.getParent(); rowControl.addPaintListener(new PaintListener() { public void paintControl(PaintEvent e) { Color initialBackground = e.gc.getBackground(); e.gc.setBackground(control.getBackground()); Control rowControl = ((Control) e.widget); Rectangle cellBounds = control.getBounds(); Rectangle bounds = new Rectangle( cellBounds.x, 0, cellBounds.width, rowControl.getBounds().height); e.gc.fillRectangle(bounds); e.gc.setBackground(initialBackground); } }); Thanks for your feedback!!
