Introduction:
Welcome the to part II to a programming approach to Eclipse forms. In Part I we had seen how to display a simple text using eclipse forms and the layouts used. In this article, let us see some more advanced controls and multi-page editors.
Image hyperlink:
Image hyperlink is a subclass of Hyperlink that adds an image before the link. This combination is so common that it just made a lot of sense to make one control out of it and save on widgets. The control can be used as image link only (when no text is set), or as a combination of link and image. Images for normal, hover and active (selected) state can be set.
Form text control:
Using the combination of labels, hyperlinks (and image hyperlinks) and TableWrapLayout, it is possible to create rich form content. However, soon you will notice that there are limits in how close you can get to the 'web look'.
Eclipse Forms plug-in provides a very rudimentary text control that can do the following:
1) Render plain wrapped text
2) Render plain text but convert any segment that starts with http:// into a hyperlink on the fly
