Binding

...

• model: the model object you are binding to.
• modelProperty: the model property you are binding to.
• childrenProperty:Used in TreeViewers to specify the children property of the model object.
• target: the widget you are binding to.
• targetProperty: the widget property you are binding to.
• model2target: a UpdateValueStrategyallowing you to specify validators, converter, etc.
• target2model: a UpdateValueStrategyallowing you to specify validators, converter, etc.
• closure: a simple way to create ComputedValues.

Builder styles

There are (at least) two ways you can write your bindings using the groovy-swt builder:

...

text(text:bind(model:viewModel, modelProperty:'text'))
// NOTE: Bind can not find the properties to bind to if they are hidden inside a GString.
label(text:bind {"You have written "+viewModel.text?.size()+ " characters"})
label('Characters left: ')
label(text:bind{(50-viewModel.text?.size()).toString()})

You can also use the model2target.converter to create a simple calculated value:

button('Remove', enabled: bind(model: peopleViewer, modelProperty:'name', 'model2target.converter': {t1.selectionCount>0})
