Thanks Grant,
I'm currently using FormLayout for both the main composite and the inner 
composites. I could change the main Layout to Grid but I think that does 
not matter.
If I understand this right I have to use height and width on FormData 
corresponding to the composites. Then I have to calculate the inner 
height first, but I think this would be no problem ... thanks.
