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

[Helmut Puhr <eskay187@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!
Thank you for your answer, it works better now. I copied your solution 
and the sizes of the comosites are perfect, but the label and the 
tableviewer did have 0 sizes until i set them manually.

unfortunately the tableviewer "lost" the vertical scrollbar, and the 
composite's doesn't work on the viewer. help ?

can i get the size of the view ? parent->size returns 0 (i guess this is 
when everthing is constructed -> resizeeventhandler?)

thanks again
helmut
