[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Forms API 
For your border problem, use :
  toolkit.paintBordersfor( form.getBody() );
The call must be made on the direct parent of the controls.
Make sure you include :
  setData(FormToolkit.KEY_DRAW_BORDER, FormToolkit.TEXT_BORDER);
on any controls not directly created by the toolkit.

As for the button sizes - they will be the width of the columns but these are not equal unless you explicitly state:
layout.makeColumnsEqualWidth=true;
However this will not be very pretty. Better would be a separate parent composite for the buttons:
Composite buttonsParent = ...
buttonsParent.new GridLayout( numberOfButtons );
Button button1 = ....
button1.setLayoutData( new GridData( GridData.HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_FILL ) );

Hope this helps,

I have a View and in that I have some controls. I read the article from:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/pde-ui-home/working/EclipseForms/EclipseForms.html

The problem is, the borders aren't drawn like they should (flat). For the combobox they are drawn 3d. And for the ListViewer.getList() no borders are drawn and even for the TextBox, which I created using the Toolkit no borders are drawn. If I set the flag SWT.BORDER in the Constructor of the Textbox or the List a 3D Border is drawn not the flat one. ???????????????????
And the 3 last Buttons, should be all in one row everyone has two columns, so they should be the same size or? But they are not!
I have also tested the TableWrapLayout.
??????????????????????
