How to disable checkbox in a GUI in Java SWT?
Hi,
I am working on creating a GUI using JAVA SWT package. In this GUI I have three checkboxes to filter the results on a table.
However, it takes some time to populate the whole data on the table and I do not want the users to use the checkboxes before the the data generation is completed.
Therefore, I want to disable these checkboxes while the process is going on. I know how to dosable icons but I don't how to disable checkboxes.
Can you please help me with it?
This is how I call this class in the main method in GUI.java class
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException {
SOME CODE IN HERE
csFilteringCheckBoxes = new CSFilteringCheckBoxes(comp
SOME CODE IN HERE
}
This is the class that creates the checkboxes and does the filtering:
