Not able to get SWT.UNDERLINE_LINK working in combination with StyledText and TextStyle

Question

I am very new to using StyledText, TextStyle.

I am trying to give a hyperlink look for a text that is displayed. I am using TextStyle object to create a hyper link style text. For TextStyle constructor I am passing Font object which has the style SWT.UNDERLINE_LINK, expecting it to create a text with hyperlink style [as per javadoc].

I am not able get this style working. Other styles SWT.BOLD, SWT.ITALICS works but not SWT.UNDERLINE_LINK. Are there any special conditions to use SWT.UNDERLINE_LINK?

You need to set

styleRange.underline = true;

when using the underlineStyle

styleRange.underlineStyle = SWT.UNDERLINE_LINK;
