I'm trying to manipulate the text on a button in my shell, but no matter 
what I try, I continue to get:

object.Exception: Access Violation

The code I'm attempting to run is attached. Can anyone take a look and shed 
some light on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

The documentation of SWT says for most widgets:
IMPORTANT: This class is not intended to be subclassed.

So do not subclass Shell, instead use it as a member variable.

But the access violation is caused by accessing a local variable from 
your startStopButton selection listener. The initComponents method is 
finished long before the listener is called. So the "startStopButton" 
variable do no more exist. Make this variable a member var of the 
MainWindow class.

The startStopButton is a member variable. I am just initializing it in the 
initComponents method. Thanks for the info about not sub-classing Shell. I'm 
used to writing Swing code where normally you extend most widgets.

hm, i missed that. I was too much expecting this problem :)
This looks like a compiler bug to me.

Aha!  dgListener!!! I did not notice that this existed. Using it seems to 
have solved my problem. Is this documented somewhere on the DWT site?

I'll definitely try and take another look at it. I'm using the compiler and 
libraries from the Easy-D install, so maybe that's the issue?

According to http://www.fsdev.net/versions/show/7
DMD 1.030 is included there.
This version has a bug with anonymous classes, like that one used in 
your code.
Using DMD 1.033 should solve this.

On http://www.dsource.org/projects/dwt/wiki/Requirements I have listed 
the current supported compiler(s).

To update, it is sufficient to overwrite the dmd.exe with the newer version.
