    <p>I have a problem which appears when using Ubuntu Linux/Gnome, but seemingly not on Windows (as seen in one of the answers), that I can't use <code>SWT.RIGHT | SWT.WRAP</code> together, when creating a new label, in order to both make the text right-aligned and wrappable.</p> <p>Background:</p> <p>I'm using a simple 2-column Grid layout in a wizard, to create a dynamic number of rows with one label and one textfield per row. I want the labels to be of fixed size and with the text inside it right-aligned, like so:</p> <pre><code> label 1: [Text field 1] Another label: [Text field 2] Another label with wrapped [Text field 3] text: </code></pre> <p>The gridlayout is created like so:</p> <pre><code>GridLayout gl = new GridLayout(); gl.numColumns = 2; composite.setLayout(gl); </code></pre> <p>and this is how I try to create the rows (with one label and one textfield per row):</p> <pre><code>for (String labelText : labelTexts) { Label fieldLabel = new Label(this.composite, SWT.RIGHT | SWT.WRAP | SWT.BORDER ); fieldLabel.setText(labelText); GridData labelGridData = new GridData(GridData.HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_END); labelGridData.widthHint = 160; fieldLabel.setLayoutData(labelGridData); Text textField = new Text(this.composite, SWT.BORDER); GridData textGridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL); textGridData.horizontalAlignment = GridData.HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_BEGINNING; textGridData.widthHint = 248; textField.setLayoutData(textGridData); } </code></pre> <p>The problem is this part: <code>SWT.RIGHT | SWT.WRAP</code> above, since it does not work to use them both simultaneously. So how can I get around that, and both right-align the text in the labels, and make the text wrap?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
