[news.eclipse.platform] Re: ScrolledComposite in a Dialog

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a snippet:

public class SampleDialog extends TitleAreaDialog {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Display display = new Display();
        Shell shell = new Shell(display);
        SampleDialog dlg = new SampleDialog(shell);
        dlg.open();
        display.dispose();
    }
    public SampleDialog(Shell shell) {
        super(shell);
    }
    protected Control createDialogArea(Composite parent) {
        Composite composite = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
        composite.setLayout(new GridLayout());
        ScrolledComposite c1 = new ScrolledComposite(composite, SWT.BORDER |
SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);
        c1.setLayoutData(new GridData(700,700));
        Button b1 = new Button(c1, SWT.PUSH);
        b1.setText("fixed size button");
        b1.setSize(1200, 1200);
        c1.setContent(b1);
        return composite;
    }
}
