[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Can't place Widgets in Group using FormL

["Zheng Yi" <mantis713@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am on the road and don't have acces to my original code.  I must've done
something wrong because the code I just wrote to recreate the problem works.

TabFolder folder = new TabFolder (parent, SWT.NONE);

FormLayout layout = new FormLayout();

FormData formData = new FormData();

layout.marginHeight = 5;

layout.marginWidth = 5;

folder.setLayout (layout);


TabItem item = new TabItem(folder, SWT.NONE);

item.setText("page1");


Composite page = new Composite (folder, SWT.NONE);

layout = new FormLayout();

formData = new FormData();

layout.marginHeight = 5;

layout.marginWidth = 5;

page.setLayout (layout);


Group group = new Group(page, SWT.NONE);

layout.marginHeight = 25;

layout.marginWidth = 60;

layout = new FormLayout();

formData = new FormData();

formData.width = 200;

formData.height = 200;

formData.top = new FormAttachment(page, 50);

formData.left = new FormAttachment(page, 50);

group.setLayout (layout);

//group.setLayoutData(formData);


Button button = new Button(group, SWT.PUSH);

button.setText("New Button");

formData = new FormData();

formData.top = new FormAttachment(0, 5);

formData.left = new FormAttachment(0, 5);

button.setLayoutData (formData);


Button button2 = new Button(group, SWT.PUSH);

button2.setText("New Button2");

formData = new FormData();

formData.top = new FormAttachment(0, 5);

formData.left = new FormAttachment(button, 20);

button2.setLayoutData (formData);


Button button3 = new Button(group, SWT.PUSH);

button3.setText("New Button3");

formData = new FormData();

formData.top = new FormAttachment(0, 5);

formData.right = new FormAttachment(100, -5);

formData.bottom = new FormAttachment(100, -5);

formData.left = new FormAttachment(button2, 20);

button3.setLayoutData (formData);


item.setControl(page);

item = new TabItem(folder, SWT.NONE);

item.setText("page2");
