Re: [ptp-dev] Service Configuration preference page and project properti

There's a createContents(Composite) method in the PropertyPage class. I'm 
using that to create a set of Composites, a Table widget, a couple Button 
widgets and the ServiceModelWidget. I create all the UI objects except the 
ServiceModelWidget in the createContents() method, including the Composite 
I'm using as a container for the  ServiceModelWidget. I create the 
ServiceModelWidget and call ServiceModelWidget.createContents() later, in 
a SelectionListener I have registered for my table widget that lists 
service configurations. This might be a problem with my choice of layout 
manager for the Composite containing the ServiceModelWidget. I'm using a 
GridLayout while other code that uses the widget uses a FillLayout. I'll 
experiment a bit more later today with this.

I was thinking ServiceModelManager.remove() and typed 
ServiceModelWidget.remove() by mistake.

If you're suggesting renaming setConfiguration to addConfiguration, I 
agree.

For dialogs, you have to call setControl(composite) in the 
createControl() method before it will display anything. Is there 
something similar for properties pages?

Maybe addConfiguration() would be better?

Do you mean ServiceModelManager..remove()? In any case, yes, there 
should be a listener for model events, or at least adding/removing 
configurations. I'll need to add this functionality.
