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

["A. Rick Anderson" <arick@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's working now.  I believe that I was making two mistakes.  I was 
calling setControl, but I was calling it at the beginning of building 
out the contained components, rather then at the end.

The other mistake I was making was that the design tool that I am 
working with seems to have a limit on its vertical height that it will 
render.  So the limitation that I was seeing was in the tool, not the 
running code.
