Class Label
Shadow styles are hints and may not be honoured by the platform. To create a separator label with the default shadow style for the platform, do not specify a shadow style.
- Styles:
- SEPARATOR, HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL
- SHADOW_IN, SHADOW_OUT, SHADOW_NONE
- CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT, WRAP
- Events:
- (none)
Note: Only one of SHADOW_IN, SHADOW_OUT and SHADOW_NONE may be specified. SHADOW_NONE is a HINT. Only one of HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL may be specified. Only one of CENTER, LEFT and RIGHT may be specified.
IMPORTANT: This class is intended to be subclassed only within the SWT implementation.
Note: Unlike in SWT, setting an image clears the text of the label and vice versa. Thus, after calling
setText(), the method
getImage() will return null, and after calling
setImage(), getText will return the empty string.

Constructor Details
-
Label
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent and a style value describing its behavior and appearance.The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class
SWTwhich is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using theint"|" operator) two or more of thoseSWTstyle constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.- Parameters:
parent- a composite control which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)style- the style of control to construct- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException-- ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
SWTException-- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the parent
- ERROR_INVALID_SUBCLASS - if this class is not an allowed subclass

Method Details
-
setText
Sets the receiver's text.This method sets the widget label. The label may include the mnemonic character and line delimiters.
Mnemonics are indicated by an '&' that causes the next character to be the mnemonic. When the user presses a key sequence that matches the mnemonic, focus is assigned to the control that follows the label. On most platforms, the mnemonic appears underlined but may be emphasised in a platform specific manner. The mnemonic indicator character '&' can be escaped by doubling it in the string, causing a single '&' to be displayed.
- Parameters:
text- the new text- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException-- ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the text 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
-
getText
Returns the receiver's text, which will be an empty string if it has never been set or if the receiver is aSEPARATORlabel.- Returns:
- the receiver's text
- 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
-
setImage
Sets the receiver's image to the argument, which may be null indicating that no image should be displayed.- Parameters:
image- the image to display on the receiver (may be null)- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException-- ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the image has been disposed
SWTException-- ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
-
getImage
Returns the receiver's image if it has one, or null if it does not.- Returns:
- the receiver's image
- 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
-
setAlignment
public void setAlignment(int alignment) Controls how text and images will be displayed in the receiver. The argument should be one ofLEFT,RIGHTorCENTER. If the receiver is aSEPARATORlabel, the argument is ignored and the alignment is not changed.- Parameters:
alignment- the new alignment- 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
-
getAlignment
public int getAlignment()Returns a value which describes the position of the text or image in the receiver. The value will be one ofLEFT,RIGHTorCENTERunless the receiver is aSEPARATORlabel, in which case,NONEis returned.- Returns:
- the alignment
- 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
-
computeSize
Description copied from class:ControlReturns the preferred size 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.DEFAULTis 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 befalse, so layout manager caches can be retained.- Overrides:
computeSizein classControl- Parameters:
wHint- the width hint (can beSWT.DEFAULT)hHint- the height hint (can beSWT.DEFAULT)changed-trueif the control's contents have changed, andfalseotherwise- Returns:
- the preferred size of the control.

-
setData
Description copied from class:WidgetSets the application defined property of the receiver with the specified name to the given value.Applications may associate arbitrary objects with the receiver in this fashion. If the objects stored in the properties need to be notified when the widget is disposed of, it is the application's responsibility to hook the Dispose event on the widget and do so.
-
getAdapter
Description copied from class:WidgetImplementation of theAdaptableinterface.IMPORTANT: This method is not part of the RWT public API. It is marked public only so that it can be shared within the packages provided by RWT. It should never be accessed from application code.
- Specified by:
getAdapterin interfaceAdaptable- Overrides:
getAdapterin classControl- Parameters:
adapter- the lookup class- Returns:
- an object that can be cast to the given class or
nullif there is no adapter associated with the given class.
