Drawable
public class Section extends ExpandableComposite
A variation of the expandable composite that adds optional description below the title. Section is often used as a basic building block in forms because it provides for logical grouping of information.In case of the TITLE_BAR style, Section renders the title bar in a way compatible with the rest of the workbench. Since it is a widget, all the colors must be supplied directly. When created by the form toolkit, these colors are supplied by the toolkit. The toolkit initializes these colors based on the system colors. For this reason, it is recommended to create the section by the toolkit instead of through its own constructor.
Since 3.1, it is possible to set a control to be used for section description. If used,
DESCRIPTION
style should not be set. A typical way to take advantage of the new method is to set an instance ofFormText
to provide for hyperlinks and images in the description area.- Since:
- 3.0
