[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Physical Screen Size Limiting Scrollable

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are some ScrolledComposite example snippets available at
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets#scrolledcomposite .  If these do not
help then your best bet is to provide a snippet (template:
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#whatisasnippet ) that reproduces the
problem, because it's difficult to know what's happening in your case just
based on your description.
