Re: [platform-swt-dev] Shell size issue

["Brian Sam-Bodden" <bsbodden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,
   What I've been doing and I don't know if it is the most correct way to accomplish this is to have some like:

MyComposite extends Composite {

            ---- somewhere during constructor ----
            this.setLayout(new FillLayout());
            // add my widget to the Mycomposte instance
            this.layout();

            public static void main(String[] args) {
                Display display = Display.getDefault();
                Shell shell = new Shell(display);
                shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());

                MyComposite composite = new MyComposite(shell, SWT.NULL);                
                Point prefSize = composite.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT);
                Rectangle shellBounds = shell.computeTrim(0,0,prefSize.x,prefSize.y);
                shell.setSize(shellBounds.width, shellBounds.height);
                shell.open();
                ...

Hope that helps,

Brian
