SWT Problem with MouseTrackListener and Shell
- by Krt_Malta
Hi!
I'm developing an Eclipse plug-in and I have a problem which is reproduced in this small SWT application:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.MULTI | SWT.WRAP | SWT.READ_ONLY | SWT.V_SCROLL);
text.setText("Hello");
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
shell.addMouseTrackListener(new MouseTrackListener() {
public void mouseEnter(MouseEvent arg0) {
System.out.println("mouseEnter");
}
public void mouseExit(MouseEvent arg0) {
System.out.println("mouseExit");
}
public void mouseHover(MouseEvent arg0) {
System.out.println("mouseHover");
}
});
// Display the window
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
display.sleep();
}
}
display.dispose();
}
As you can see I'm creating a shell and putting a Textbox inside it and putting it all across the shell. Then I attach a MouseTrackListener to the shell. The events don't fire (as in when I hover in the shell "mouseHover" is not printed etc). When I remove the Textbox the events fire. Can anyone tell me where the problem lies please? I don't want to attach a listener to the textbox but to the shell. I'll really appreciate the help because I've been trying to trace it for quite some time now.
Thanks and regards,
