Interface WidgetFactory

public interface WidgetFactory

A widget factory is responsible for creating an SWT widget based on the right style. Some style shows the widgets differently, for instance, the flat style shows the widgets with less borders.

Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

Since:

2.0
