RE: [platform-swt-dev] GridLayout (w/Table) and vertical alignment problems

Udaya,

Actually, Grant Gayed gave me the suggestion in a reply to add the following to my button composite:

        Composite buttons = new Composite(composite, SWT.NONE);
               --> buttons.setLayoutData( new GridData(GridData.VERTICAL_ALIGN_BEGINNING));

Now my buttons align at the top.  Thanks for the suggestion on the different layouts.  I will check them out.

You have two options -

1. Use FormLayout

2. Design Custom Layout.

I believe Form Layout would be easier.

Hope this helps.
