[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Scrollable Composite for multipage editor

[Veronika_Irvine@xxxxxxx]

Here is another attempt to get the comments to show up in red.

Here is what is wrong - I have taken your code and added my comments in 
red:

        tabFolder_ = new TabFolder(parent, SWT.NONE);
        pageBook_ = new PageBook(tabFolder_, SWT.NONE);
 
        // tabFolder_.setLayout(new FillLayout()); <- remove this line - like the ScrolledComposite, the 
                                                 <- TabFolder lays out its own children and setting a layout 
                                                 <- in the TabFolder will either do nothing or cause flash

        // Create a page....
        //
 
        TabItem propTab = new TabItem(tabFolder_, SWT.NONE);
        propTab.setText("Properties");
        propTab.setControl(pageBook_);
        ScrolledComposite scp = new ScrolledComposite(pageBook_, SWT.V_SCROLL);
 
        // scp.setLayout(new RowLayout()); <- causes flash
        Composite cp = new Composite(scp, SWT.NONE);
        scp.setContent(cp);
 
        GridLayout myLayout = new GridLayout();
        myLayout.numColumns = 2;
        cp.setLayout(myLayout);

        // Create controls as children of cp...

        //Set the size of the thing being scrolled.
        cp.setSize(cp.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT));
