The Visual Editor provides the capability to draw grid lines in a Composite that has a grid layout. This provides visualization cues for the user in order to drag/drop/move controls within the Composite. In order to draw acurate grid lines, VE needs to know the column widths and row heights of the grid based on the position of the children after the layout is complete. The way this is done today is VE uses algorithms similar to the way GridLayout.layout works such that the lines are fairly accurate but this requires a lot maintenance and updating everytime the SWT GridLayout changes. Please provide the capability to get the column widths and row heights from the GridLayout instance.
Please consider for 3.4
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time.
