[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: TableEditor Question/Proglem

[Michael Kilgore <mfkilgore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Okay attached is a small example that has a table with two buttons.  One 
button clears and adds data, the other clears.  There are two columns 
one standard text one StyledText.  Pressing the clear button should 
clear the table and does underneath.  Following a clear click the 
horizontal scroll bar to redraw.

I even have a table.redraw() in both places to try and force it...

Thanks for your help.
