  - addKeyListener
```
public void addKeyListener(KeyListener listener)
```
    Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when keys are pressed and released on the system keyboard, by sending it one of the messages defined in the KeyListener interface.
    When a key listener is added to a control, the control will take part in widget traversal. By default, all traversal keys (such as the tab key and so on) are delivered to the control. In order for a control to take part in traversal, it should listen for traversal events. Otherwise, the user can traverse into a control but not out. Note that native controls such as table and tree implement key traversal in the operating system. It is not necessary to add traversal listeners for these controls, unless you want to override the default traversal.
    Parameters:
    
    listener - the listener which should be notified
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
    
    SWTException -

  - computeSize
```
public Point computeSize(int wHint,
                         int hHint)
```
    Returns the preferred size (in points) of the receiver.
    The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.
    Parameters:
    
    wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
    
    hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
    
    Returns:
    
    the preferred size of the control
    
    Throws:
    
    SWTException -

                         int hHint,
                         boolean changed)
```
    Returns the preferred size (in points) of the receiver.
    The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.
    If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.
    Parameters:
    
    wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
    
    hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
    
    changed - true if the control's contents have changed, and false otherwise
    
    Returns:
    
    the preferred size of the control.
    
    Throws:

  - dragDetect
```
public boolean dragDetect(Event event)
```
    Detects a drag and drop gesture. This method is used to detect a drag gesture when called from within a mouse down listener.
    By default, a drag is detected when the gesture occurs anywhere within the client area of a control. Some controls, such as tables and trees, override this behavior. In addition to the operating system specific drag gesture, they require the mouse to be inside an item. Custom widget writers can use setDragDetect to disable the default detection, listen for mouse down, and then call dragDetect() from within the listener to conditionally detect a drag.
    Parameters:
    
    event - the mouse down event
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the gesture occurred, and false otherwise.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT if the event is null

  - requestLayout
```
public void requestLayout()
```
    Requests that this control and all of its ancestors be repositioned by their layouts at the earliest opportunity. This should be invoked after modifying the control in order to inform any dependent layouts of the change.
    The control will not be repositioned synchronously. This method is fast-running and only marks the control for future participation in a deferred layout.
    Invoking this method multiple times before the layout occurs is an inexpensive no-op.

  - redraw
```
public void redraw()
```
    Causes the entire bounds of the receiver to be marked as needing to be redrawn. The next time a paint request is processed, the control will be completely painted, including the background.
    Schedules a paint request if the invalidated area is visible or becomes visible later. It is not necessary for the caller to explicitly call update() after calling this method, but depending on the platform, the automatic repaints may be delayed considerably.
    Throws:

                   int height,
                   boolean all)
```
    Causes the rectangular area of the receiver specified by the arguments to be marked as needing to be redrawn. The next time a paint request is processed, that area of the receiver will be painted, including the background. If the all flag is true, any children of the receiver which intersect with the specified area will also paint their intersecting areas. If the all flag is false, the children will not be painted.
    Schedules a paint request if the invalidated area is visible or becomes visible later. It is not necessary for the caller to explicitly call update() after calling this method, but depending on the platform, the automatic repaints may be delayed considerably.
    Parameters:
    
    x - the x coordinate of the area to draw
    
    y - the y coordinate of the area to draw
    
    width - the width of the area to draw

                      int height)
```
    Sets the receiver's size and location in points to the rectangular area specified by the arguments. The x and y arguments are relative to the receiver's parent (or its display if its parent is null), unless the receiver is a shell. In this case, the x and y arguments are relative to the display.
    Note: Attempting to set the width or height of the receiver to a negative number will cause that value to be set to zero instead.
    
    Note: On GTK, attempting to set the width or height of the receiver to a number higher or equal 2^14 will cause them to be set to (2^14)-1 instead.
    Parameters:
    
    x - the new x coordinate for the receiver
    
    y - the new y coordinate for the receiver
    
    width - the new width for the receiver

  - setRedraw
```
public void setRedraw(boolean redraw)
```
    If the argument is false, causes subsequent drawing operations in the receiver to be ignored. No drawing of any kind can occur in the receiver until the flag is set to true. Graphics operations that occurred while the flag was false are lost. When the flag is set to true, the entire widget is marked as needing to be redrawn. Nested calls to this method are stacked.
    Note: This operation is a hint and may not be supported on some platforms or for some widgets.
    Parameters:
    
    redraw - the new redraw state
    
    Throws:
    
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

  - setRegion
```
public void setRegion(Region region)
```
    Sets the shape of the control to the region specified by the argument. When the argument is null, the default shape of the control is restored.
    Parameters:
    
    region - the region that defines the shape of the control (or null)
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the region has been disposed

  - setSize
```
public void setSize(int width,
                    int height)
```
    Sets the receiver's size to the point specified by the arguments.
    Note: Attempting to set the width or height of the receiver to a negative number will cause that value to be set to zero instead.
    
    Note: On GTK, attempting to set the width or height of the receiver to a number higher or equal 2^14 will cause them to be set to (2^14)-1 instead.
    Parameters:
    
    width - the new width in points for the receiver
    
    height - the new height in points for the receiver
    
    Throws:
    
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  - setSize
```
public void setSize(Point size)
```
    Sets the receiver's size to the point specified by the argument.
    Note: Attempting to set the width or height of the receiver to a negative number will cause them to be set to zero instead.
    
    Note: On GTK, attempting to set the width or height of the receiver to a number higher or equal 2^14 will cause them to be set to (2^14)-1 instead.
    Parameters:
    
    size - the new size in points for the receiver
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the point is null
    
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  - setTextDirection
```
public void setTextDirection(int textDirection)
```
    Sets the base text direction (a.k.a. "paragraph direction") of the receiver, which must be one of the constants SWT.LEFT_TO_RIGHT, SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT, or SWT.AUTO_TEXT_DIRECTION.
    setOrientation would override this value with the text direction that is consistent with the new orientation.
    
    Warning: This API is currently only implemented on Windows. It doesn't set the base text direction on GTK and Cocoa.
    Parameters:
    
    textDirection - the base text direction style
    
    Throws:
    
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

  - setToolTipText
```
public void setToolTipText(String string)
```
    Sets the receiver's tool tip text to the argument, which may be null indicating that the default tool tip for the control will be shown. For a control that has a default tool tip, such as the Tree control on Windows, setting the tool tip text to an empty string replaces the default, causing no tool tip text to be shown.
    The mnemonic indicator (character '&') is not displayed in a tool tip. To display a single '&' in the tool tip, the character '&' can be escaped by doubling it in the string.
    
    NOTE: This operation is a hint and behavior is platform specific, on Windows for CJK-style mnemonics of the form " (&C)" at the end of the tooltip text are not shown in tooltip.
    Parameters:
    
    string - the new tool tip text (or null)
    
    Throws:
    
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  - setTouchEnabled
```
public void setTouchEnabled(boolean enabled)
```
    Sets whether this control should send touch events (by default controls do not). Setting this to false causes the receiver to send gesture events instead. No exception is thrown if a touch-based input device is not detected (this can be determined with Display#getTouchEnabled()).
    Parameters:
    
    enabled - the new touch-enabled state
    
    Throws:
    
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

  - setVisible
```
public void setVisible(boolean visible)
```
    Marks the receiver as visible if the argument is true, and marks it invisible otherwise.
    If one of the receiver's ancestors is not visible or some other condition makes the receiver not visible, marking it visible may not actually cause it to be displayed.
    Parameters:
    
    visible - the new visibility state
    
    Throws:
    
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

```
public Point toControl(int x,
                       int y)
```
    Returns a point which is the result of converting the argument, which is specified in display relative coordinates, to coordinates relative to the receiver.
