Right to Left Shell in SWT

I want to mirror (Right to Left mode) the title bar control buttons (close, minimize and maximize buttons) using SWT in Java. I searched everywhere and came across this link but it does not work for me.

Please help me.

Solution

  • In order to explicitly change the orientation of an SWT control, use 

    setOrientation( SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT );

    It is also possible to pass the RIGHT_TO_LEFT style flag to the constructor, for example

    new Shell( parent, SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT );
