Hey guys, when I use the setEnabled() on comboboxes,(and its set to false) I'm wondering how I can change the text color so it is black and not gray. The people I'm developing software for, and myself, find it too hard to read and I can't find a way to access the text color. It was easy fixing text components as I just had to use setEditable() instead which did not gray the text color but there is not a setEditable() method available to comboboxes in SWT. Any help greatly appreciated!
To further clarify, I have tried to override the method, but it won't use my method, instead it uses the inherited method which looks like this:
I can't find the text painting code in here, and now I'm becoming a little more confused as I am somewhat more familiar with Swing which has the UIManagerCode:/**
* Enables the receiver if the argument is <code>true</code>,
* and disables it otherwise. A disabled control is typically
* not selectable from the user interface and draws with an
* inactive or "grayed" look.
*
* @param enabled the new enabled state
*
* @exception SWTException <ul>
* <li>ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed</li>
* <li>ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver</li>
* </ul>
*/
public void setEnabled (boolean enabled) {
checkWidget ();
/*
* Feature in Windows. If the receiver has focus, disabling
* the receiver causes no window to have focus. The fix is
* to assign focus to the first ancestor window that takes
* focus. If no window will take focus, set focus to the
* desktop.
*/
Control control = null;
boolean fixFocus = false;
if (!enabled) {
if (display.focusEvent != SWT.FocusOut) {
control = display.getFocusControl ();
fixFocus = isFocusAncestor (control);
}
}
enableWidget (enabled);
if (fixFocus) fixFocus (control);
}
in which case it would look something like UIManager.put( "ComboBox.disabledText", Color.black); I'm not sure if there is an equivalent for SWT.:^):
