SWT Widget Style Bits

All SWT Widgets take as a constructor argument a set of style bits that control various aspects of their behavior and appearance. The set of possible style bits are defined in the class org.eclipse.swt.SWT, but only a small subset applies to each Widget. The table below describes the bits that are applicable to each kind of Widget.
