[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Dialog having a Scrollbar?

Hi,

A very basic question. How can one have a Dialog with a scrollbar?

I have a class extending TitleAreaDialog. This dialog will contain a lot of widgets (checkboxes) that make it necessary to have a vertical scrollbar. I have tried:

In the constructor of the dialog:
setShellStyle(SWT.DIALOG_TRIM | SWT.RESIZE | SWT.MAX | SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);


In createDialogArea(Composite parent):
ScrolledForm scrolledForm = new ScrolledForm(parent, SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);
scrolledForm.setExpandVertical(true);
scrolledForm.setExpandHorizontal(true);
scrolledForm.setMinSize(0, 0); // also tried scrolledForm.setMinSize(parent.getSize());


Nothing works, no scroll bars are seen even though there are more widgets than are visible.

Any pointers (especially code snippets) are highly appreciated.

TIA,
Best Regards,
