[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: How to resize widgets?

[Daniel Spiewak <djspiewak@xxxxxxxxx>]

There's no native way of doing this because this functionality isn't supported natively by any WS.  The only way to do something like this would be to emulate it yourself with some sort of canvas which would trap mouse events and then call the setBounds(Rectangle) method on the widget(s) in question.  Alternatively, I think GEF supports something like this, but I'm really not sure.  Take a look at VE for an example.
