[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: restrict Composite size

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A Table's preferred size (which is what pack() gives you) is to show all of
its items, so to keep it from doing this you have to set a size or size hint
on the Table or its parent.  For example, if your Composite B uses a
GridLayout then you can give it width and height hints in its GridData, and
the Table will be sized to fit within it (and will show scrollbars if
needed).
