public void addHelpListener(HelpListener listener)
```
    Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when help events are generated for the control, by sending it one of the messages defined in the HelpListener interface.
    Parameters:
    listener - the listener which should be notified

```
public void addKeyListener(KeyListener listener)
```
    Adds the listener to the collection of listeners who will be notified when keys are pressed and released on the system keyboard, by sending it one of the messages defined in the KeyListener interface.
    When a key listener is added to a control, the control will take part in widget traversal. By default, all traversal keys (such as the tab key and so on) are delivered to the control. In order for a control to take part in traversal, it should listen for traversal events. Otherwise, the user can traverse into a control but not out. Note that native controls such as table and tree implement key traversal in the operating system. It is not necessary to add traversal listeners for these controls, unless you want to override the default traversal.
    Parameters:
    listener - the listener which should be notified
    
    Throws:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the listener is null
    SWTException -

```
public Point computeSize(int wHint,
                int hHint,
                boolean changed)
```
    Returns the preferred size of the receiver.
    The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at. The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for the hint.
    If the changed flag is true, it indicates that the receiver's contents have changed, therefore any caches that a layout manager containing the control may have been keeping need to be flushed. When the control is resized, the changed flag will be false, so layout manager caches can be retained.
    Parameters:
    wHint - the width hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
    hHint - the height hint (can be SWT.DEFAULT)
    changed - true if the control's contents have changed, and false otherwise
    
    Returns:
    the preferred size of the control.

  - dragDetect
```
public boolean dragDetect(Event event)
```
    Detects a drag and drop gesture. This method is used to detect a drag gesture when called from within a mouse down listener.
    By default, a drag is detected when the gesture occurs anywhere within the client area of a control. Some controls, such as tables and trees, override this behavior. In addition to the operating system specific drag gesture, they require the mouse to be inside an item. Custom widget writers can use setDragDetect to disable the default detection, listen for mouse down, and then call dragDetect() from within the listener to conditionally detect a drag.
    Parameters:
    event - the mouse down event
    
    Returns:
    true if the gesture occurred, and false otherwise.
    
    Throws:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT if the event is null

  - setRedraw
```
public void setRedraw(boolean redraw)
```
    If the argument is false, causes subsequent drawing operations in the receiver to be ignored. No drawing of any kind can occur in the receiver until the flag is set to true. Graphics operations that occurred while the flag was false are lost. When the flag is set to true, the entire widget is marked as needing to be redrawn. Nested calls to this method are stacked.
    Note: This operation is a hint and may not be supported on some platforms or for some widgets.
    Parameters:
    redraw - the new redraw state
    
    Throws:
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

           int height)
```
    Sets the receiver's size to the point specified by the arguments.
    Note: Attempting to set the width or height of the receiver to a negative number will cause that value to be set to zero instead.
    Parameters:
    width - the new width for the receiver
    height - the new height for the receiver
    
    Throws:
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

  - setTextDirection
```
public void setTextDirection(int textDirection)
```
    Sets the base text direction (a.k.a. "paragraph direction") of the receiver, which must be one of the constants SWT.LEFT_TO_RIGHT or SWT.RIGHT_TO_LEFT.
    setOrientation would override this value with the text direction that is consistent with the new orientation.
    
    Warning: This API is currently only implemented on Windows. It doesn't set the base text direction on GTK and Cocoa.
    Parameters:
    textDirection - the base text direction style
    
    Throws:
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

  - setToolTipText
```
public void setToolTipText(java.lang.String string)
```
    Sets the receiver's tool tip text to the argument, which may be null indicating that the default tool tip for the control will be shown. For a control that has a default tool tip, such as the Tree control on Windows, setting the tool tip text to an empty string replaces the default, causing no tool tip text to be shown.
    The mnemonic indicator (character '&') is not displayed in a tool tip. To display a single '&' in the tool tip, the character '&' can be escaped by doubling it in the string.
    Parameters:
    string - the new tool tip text (or null)
    
    Throws:
    SWTException -

  - setTouchEnabled
```
public void setTouchEnabled(boolean enabled)
```
    Sets whether this control should send touch events (by default controls do not). Setting this to false causes the receiver to send gesture events instead. No exception is thrown if a touch-based input device is not detected (this can be determined with Display#getTouchEnabled()).
    Parameters:
    enabled - the new touch-enabled state
    
    Throws:
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed

public Point toDisplay(Point point)
```
    Returns a point which is the result of converting the argument, which is specified in coordinates relative to the receiver, to display relative coordinates.
    Parameters:
    point - the point to be translated (must not be null)
    
    Returns:
    the translated coordinates

    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  - traverse
```
public boolean traverse(int traversal)
```
    Based on the argument, perform one of the expected platform traversal action. The argument should be one of the constants: SWT.TRAVERSE_ESCAPE, SWT.TRAVERSE_RETURN, SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_NEXT, SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_PREVIOUS, SWT.TRAVERSE_ARROW_NEXT, SWT.TRAVERSE_ARROW_PREVIOUS, SWT.TRAVERSE_PAGE_NEXT and SWT.TRAVERSE_PAGE_PREVIOUS.
    Parameters:
    traversal - the type of traversal
    
    Returns:
    true if the traversal succeeded
    
    Throws:
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
  - traverse
```
public boolean traverse(int traversal,
               Event event)
```
    Performs a platform traversal action corresponding to a KeyDown event.
    Valid traversal values are SWT.TRAVERSE_NONE, SWT.TRAVERSE_MNEMONIC, SWT.TRAVERSE_ESCAPE, SWT.TRAVERSE_RETURN, SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_NEXT, SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_PREVIOUS, SWT.TRAVERSE_ARROW_NEXT, SWT.TRAVERSE_ARROW_PREVIOUS, SWT.TRAVERSE_PAGE_NEXT and SWT.TRAVERSE_PAGE_PREVIOUS. If traversal is SWT.TRAVERSE_NONE then the Traverse event is created with standard values based on the KeyDown event. If traversal is one of the other traversal constants then the Traverse event is created with this detail, and its doit is taken from the KeyDown event.
    Parameters:
    traversal - the type of traversal, or SWT.TRAVERSE_NONE to compute this from event
    event - the KeyDown event
    
    Returns:
    true if the traversal succeeded
    
    Throws:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT if the event is null
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

    Performs a platform traversal action corresponding to a KeyDown event.
    Valid traversal values are SWT.TRAVERSE_NONE, SWT.TRAVERSE_MNEMONIC, SWT.TRAVERSE_ESCAPE, SWT.TRAVERSE_RETURN, SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_NEXT, SWT.TRAVERSE_TAB_PREVIOUS, SWT.TRAVERSE_ARROW_NEXT, SWT.TRAVERSE_ARROW_PREVIOUS, SWT.TRAVERSE_PAGE_NEXT and SWT.TRAVERSE_PAGE_PREVIOUS. If traversal is SWT.TRAVERSE_NONE then the Traverse event is created with standard values based on the KeyDown event. If traversal is one of the other traversal constants then the Traverse event is created with this detail, and its doit is taken from the KeyDown event.
    Parameters:
    traversal - the type of traversal, or SWT.TRAVERSE_NONE to compute this from event
    event - the KeyDown event
    
    Returns:
    true if the traversal succeeded
    
    Throws:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT if the event is null
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
    Since:
    
    3.6
  - update
```
public void update()
```
    Forces all outstanding paint requests for the widget to be processed before this method returns. If there are no outstanding paint request, this method does nothing.
    Note: This method does not cause a redraw.
    Throws:
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

  - setParent
```
public boolean setParent(Composite parent)
```
    Changes the parent of the widget to be the one provided if the underlying operating system supports this feature. Returns true if the parent is successfully changed.
    Parameters:
    parent - the new parent for the control.
    
    Returns:
    true if the parent is changed and false otherwise.
    
    Throws:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException -
    
    ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT - if the argument has been disposed
    
    ERROR_NULL_ARGUMENT - if the parent is null
    SWTException -
    
    ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
    
    ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver
