[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: How to size the width of a wizard when m

[jasonxd@xxxxxxxxxx (Jason D)]

Thanks Jeffty.  However it is not working.  I use the below code.

	WizardDialog dlg = new WizardDialog(shell, wizard);
	dlg.setPageSize(500, 400);
	dlg.setMinimumPageSize(400, 300);
	dlg.create();
	dlg.open();

The wizard page is displayed to fit the full width of my message.  I 
wonder if I can set the message outside of the createControl(), then it 
may work because the wizard has been created and the width is set.  Then 
the message will be wrapped.  I know that the message area has space for 2 
lines and my message will wrap if I resize the page.  My problem is how to 
set the initial width of the wizard.

Thanks,

Jason
