[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Composite Sizes

["Peter Osipov" <osipov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyway, try something like this. I use gridData usually. Actually, you don't
need those size hints. If something like you've described is happening, i.e.
you've messed something with layouts.
public void createPartControl(Composite parent)
{
// set display
display_= parent.getDisplay();
parent.setLayout(new GridLayout());
parent.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));

// create new table viewer
Composite viewer = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
viewer.setVisible(true);
viewer = new TableViewer(viewer, SWT.TOP | SWT.SINGLE | SWT.V_SCROLL);
GridData gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
gridData.widthHint = 300;
gridData.heightHint = 300;
viewer.setLayoutData(gridData);
//...

}
