Understanding the Repercussions : StyledText « SWT « Java Tutorial

When you use a LineStyleListener , you shouldn't use the following API calls:

1. getStyleRangeAtOffset(int offset)
2. StyleRange[] getStyleRanges()
3. void replaceStyleRanges(int start, int length, StyleRange[] ranges)
4. void setStyleRange(StyleRange range)
5. void setStyleRanges(StyleRange[] ranges)

Mixing these API calls with a LineStyleListener is unsupported. (The Definitive Guide to SWT and JFace by Robert Harris and Rob Warner Apress 2004 )
