Class SWT_AWT_Bridge

  • public class SWT_AWT_Bridge
extends Object
    Adapts an AWT component into an SWT container. The following piece of code shows a convenient way of porting an AWT component to SWT:

      public class SWTplot extends AWTplot{
        public SWTplot(Composite parent){
          super();
          Bridge.adapt(parent, this);
        }
      }

    Important notice: AWT components may trigger events (mouse, keyboard, component events, etc). When attaching a listener on a bridged AWT component that is supposed to modify an SWT widget (such as a text field), it is required to perform this modification into the SWT UI event queue. If not, the target SWT component will throw a SWTException with message "Invalid thread access". Indeed, all SWT widgets check that they are modified inside the UI thread.

    Thus, it is suggested to compute events this way:
    Text info = new Text(parent, SWT.None);
    SWTplot plot = new SWTplot(parent);
    plot.addPlotListener(new PlotListener(){
      public void handleEvent(Event e){
        Display.getDefault().asyncExec(new Runnable(){
          info.setText(e.toString());
        });
      }
    });
