Bug 256919 Disabling SWT controls has no effect for some controls
Reported: 2008-11-28 12:28:37 | Status: resolved fixed

Builds: Eclipse SDK Mac OSX Cocoa N20081126-2000 (compared to Carbon N20081126-2000) In the context of the SWT Controls Example, re the Link, ProgressBar, Sash, TabFolder and Text controls: Disabling the control (Enabled is not selected) has no effect i.e. there is no loss in functionality (unlike in Carbon). N.B. One exception to above: for Carbon, the Sash control is also unaffected by disabling the control.
