I'm using the SWT API to learn DWT and saw one thing that I
didn't particularly understand.

Basically in the SWT Documentations the syntax goes like this:

Menu menu = new Menu(shell, SWT.BAR);

While DWT requires an integer for the second arguement.

auto menu = new Menu(shell, 1);

I'm gonna ask, where can I find some documentation or any sort of
hint to know what integer corresponds to what component in DWT.
Thank you.

Yes, but SWT.BAR is an integer so that should work. The API is the same in Java.

There really is no API documentation for DWT since it's using the same API as SWT, any documentation for SWT should be applicable.

I tried to initialize Menu() with the SWT.BAR but it was undefined apparently.

Error: undefined identifier SWT
Error: no constructor for Menu

Am I missing something?

Nvm I just found that I should include org.eclipse.swt.SWT. Sorry for the stupid question.
