[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: How do I resize a SWT table using SashFo

[Cklewis <chriskwonlewis@xxxxxxx>]

You should be able to attach your mspaint example like you would on any 
email.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, you want to be able to drag the 
corner of the table to manually resize it, the table only. You want to 
resize it in the same fashion as you would to a window thats not 
maximized, by dragging the corner correct?

If that's the case, i don't understand how a sashform would be of any 
use. Think of a sash form as having the same functionality as what 
separates "frames" in browsers... you know that you can drag one portion 
to take up a percentage of a screen while the other portion decreases. 
Or in many email clients you have a horizontal/vertical 'sashforms'.

In fact my current program uses a sashform, here is a screen shot:

(The sashform is what separates the top and bottom portion and is 
draggable).
