Hi Randy,
You need to look at computeTrim(). This method computes the size a widget
needs to be in order to show a particular client area. A better name for
this method would have been computeBounds(). <g>

Please respond to

We are trying to calculate whether it is necessary to show scrollbars or
not. To do this, we do:
canvas.getHorizontalScrollbar().getSize().y
This works on Windows, but on Motif it doesn't work. The dimension returned
is too small, causing us to overestimate the resulting client area once the
scollbar is set visible.
How can I ask a Canvas how much space scroll bar "x" *would* occupy if it
were visible? In other words, what is the clientArea for the Canvas with
both scrollbars visible, but i want to know without setting them visible.
(Also, need to account for possible SWT.BORDER style bit).
