| Re: [ptp-dev] Questions about widgets in JAXB plugin |
Dave,
The two features you requested have been added and CVS HEAD updated.
Demonstrative examples: attached is the "tabbed-example" xml from org.eclipse.ptp.rm.jaxb.tests/data and the screenshot. If you upload this into your workspace you can also verify (by clicking the "View Configuration") that the values for the translated boolean and the radio button group are correct.
A couple of notes.
1. The <button-group> can take either radio buttons or checkboxes. The behavior of the group is always to permit no more than one of these to be selected at a time. The difference between them is that you can uncheck all of them with a checkbox (radio buttons are "sticky"). Thus there should probably always be a default value when you use radios.
2. I have discovered a couple of interesting facts in this process:
a. SWT does not seem to allow you to divide a Button over more than one Grid column
b. Likewise, I was unable to find a way of dividing a subcomponent with a non-grid layout (like row layout) over more than one column of a GridData parent.
In both of these cases I have resorted to occupying the empty column with a blank Label (see configuration).
