So I am creating a image to place in the title area. Everything works with the exception that only a 1/4th of the image is displayed?
my image is actually text and a image combine in one image EX: JKTeater [ ] <-- icon so right now only JKT is showing in the title area
Here is the create() method
public void create() {
super.create();
setTitle("JKTeater Application");
setMessage("Hello World");
if (image != null) setTitleImage(image);
}
EDIT
I am sure that it would be asking to much to see if you can actually change the background color from a basic color to a gradient
Here is an example TitleAreaDialog
. As you can see, the Image
is completely shown and aligned to the right:
public static void main(String[] args) {
final Shell shell = new Shell();
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
TitleAreaDialog dialog = new MyTitleAreaDialog(shell);
dialog.setTitleAreaColor(Display.getDefault().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_WIDGET_BACKGROUND).getRGB());
dialog.open();
}
private static class MyTitleAreaDialog extends TitleAreaDialog
{
private Image image;
public MyTitleAreaDialog(Shell parentShell) {
super(parentShell);
image = new Image(Display.getDefault(), "/home/baz/Desktop/StackOverflow.png");
}
@Override
public boolean close() {
if (image != null)
image.dispose();
return super.close();
}
@Override
protected Control createContents(Composite parent) {
Control contents = super.createContents(parent);
setTitle("Title");
setMessage("Message");
if (image != null)
setTitleImage(image);
return contents;
}
@Override
protected Control createDialogArea(Composite parent) {
Composite composite = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);
// YOUR LINE HERE!
Label line = new Label(parent, SWT.SEPARATOR | SWT.HORIZONTAL);
line.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.END, true, true));
return composite;
}
}
Is there a specific size that the title area code allows for?
AFAIK there are no restrictions to the size. I tried using an Image
that was larger than my screen resolution and it was fully displayed. The Dialog
was obviously unusable though.
I am sure that it would be asking to much to see if you can actually change the background color from a basic color to a gradient
The background color can be changed using dialog.setTitleAreaColor(RGB)
(in this case the widget background color), but you cannot use a gradient. There is a deprecated method getTitleArea()
which would return the title area Composite
, but I really wouldn't recommend using that.
How can I get a black horizonal line at the bottom of the title area?
The line at the bottom was achieved by using:
Label line = new Label(parent, SWT.SEPARATOR | SWT.HORIZONTAL);
line.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.END, true, true));
Can you use a layout to move it around?
There is a similar question here:
Moving an image of a TitleAreaDialog to the left
The answers there explain how to change details of the TitleAreaDialog
. Maybe read up on them.
