[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Srolling problem with ExpandBar

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Julien,

In general, including this case, reaching into a Control and setting its
vertical scrollbar's selection does not scroll the Control itself.
Scrolling a Control programmatically either has to be done using a
ScrolledComposite, or by api on the Control (eg.- Table.setTopIndex(int)).
Unfortunately ScrolledComposite does not apply to this case and ExpandBar
does not have api for what you need, so I don't think there's currently
support for this.  If you want you can log a Feature Request with swt at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&component=SWT&bug_severity=enhancement .
