NullPointerException in RCPForm.java

2011-05-17T21:09:12Z

Hi,

I'm getting a new NullPointerException in RCPForm.java. It seems that validationManager is null.

java.lang.NullPointerException
at net.sf.rcpforms.form.RCPForm.createUI(RCPForm.java:239)

My forms were working well until I moved the RCPForms plugin into a bundle.

Any idea of what is going on and how I can prevent this NPE?

Thanks

Changing the focus automatically and status line

2010-11-26T13:05:48Z

Hi,

I'm using RCP Forms in my project, but I have a couple of questions that I couldn't find the answer for.

1) I would like to change the focus of a form once the field "is valid". Is there a way to do this automatically ?
The idea is to speed up the user experience by not forcing the user to use the Tab.

2) I would like to set a status line or other informational message so that each time the focus changes to a new field, a help line related to that field is shown or updated.
This could be the section under the title of the forms, like the one that is shown by the "Title Validated Form Wizard" that displays "Not all required Fields are filled", but this would clash with error messages. Is there a way to add a "status line" to a form ?

3) Is there a way to stop these messages being written to stdout ?

INFO: ValidationManager(Form Test)is going to be initialized...

This appear when I run my application from Eclipse.

Thanks

Making a form read-only

2010-10-20T15:46:01Z

Hi,

I want to RCP Forms to get user input on one part of the application, and then display, read-only, the result in another part of the application.
I have created some editable forms, which allow me to do the first part.

Is it possible use the same forms and set the style to be read only ?

I found some references to SWT.READ_ONLY in the RCPFormToolkit class, but no example on how to do it.

Thanks

How do I make an RCP Form fill up a composite ?

2010-10-18T10:07:25Z

Hi,

I've been using your RCP Forms and found them very suitable for what I want to do, thanks.
However, I'm having a problem that I cannot fix. I want my forms to fill up the composite I give them, but all the forms I create try to use as little space as possible. I know the composite is bigger than the form as I use a SWT.BORDER to create it.

All other SWT widgets expand when using
comp.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false));
comp.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true));

So how can I make an RCP Form expand to fill the composite ? Note that I am not talking about making an individual RCP Control expand to fill the form. I want to expand the form itself.

Thanks
