enumerated property in custom SWT composite

[smathers]

I've got a custom SWT composite with an enumerated property list that I want to display in a combo box in the properties view. Is this currently possible? If not, are there plans to implement custom properties in the future?

This is now supported in the latest v4.1.1 build using custom bean info.

Here's an example...

Man, you guys are good! After updating to the current version, custom BeanInfo now works. You've saved me from having to use VE.

After trying to apply this to my own composite, I discovered that it only works if you name your property "compositeStyle" in the BeanInfo descriptor and name your getter/setter methods in the custom composite accordingly. Thus, there can only be 1 enumerated property per composite. Does this sound correct, or am I missing something?

No. There was some testing code we had not removed that resulted in that effect.

The latest v4.1.1 build should allow you to use any property name that you want.

Yes, installing the latest v4.1.1 version (9-30-05) fixes the problem. Thanks!
