Not all attributes of a tag are listed as it is rather a huge task for one person to really write a full documentation for the Swt. Just the ones that I did something special are listed. For the rest, check the Eclipse 3.0 Platform API JavaDoc.

Basically, for a class, any functions (static or non-static) start with "set" prefix and only has one parameter can be used as an attribute which does not have the "set" prefix and in lower case. For example, if you see a setSize(Point size) function, then there is an attribute "size", and the value for the attribute should be a Point object. Similarly for any public variables (static or non-static), there is a corresponding attribute name in lowercase. As always, check the converters page for the available converters that can convert string to the corresponding data type.

Notes:

  • An internal tag should not be used directly.
  • If a tag is inherited from a tag, then all attributes and adders are inherited from that tag. For example, button inherits control, which in turn inherts widget. Then button inherits the attributes and adders of its ancestors besides the ones it has, which has more prioity.
