Book Description
But you already know what you want to do--so wading through the basics of user interface design, graphical components, and what a button does is simply a waste of time. Enter SWT: A Developer's Notebook. In typical Developer's Notebook style, you'll learn how to take SWT out for a spin, make it work for you, and turn it upside down, all without wasted words or space. Each lab in this notebook details a specific task; you can read from the first page to the last, look up just what you need to know, and even squeeze this book into your laptop bag as a quick reference when you forget how to create a multi-tabbed view.
This book covers:
Downloading and configuring Eclipse and SWT
Menus, toolbars, and buttons
Building tabbed layouts and folders
SWT's unique coolbar control
Adding listeners and responding to events
Building a complete SWT-based application
