Getting ScrolledComposite

Show all headers | View raw

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
I'm new to SWT, I have come from using Swing.

I think I'm having problems with the size stuff but I'm not sure.
Basically I've forced the scroll bar to show, but it's not enabled.
Here's my code as a subclass of org.eclipse.jface.window.Window:

protected Control createContents(Composite parent) {
        //layout the parent composite
        GridLayout layout = new GridLayout();
        layout.marginWidth = 0;
        layout.marginHeight = 2;
        parent.setLayout(layout);

        ScrolledComposite scrolledComposite = new
ScrolledComposite(parent,
                SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.BORDER);
        scrolledComposite.setAlwaysShowScrollBars(true);

        //layout the composite holding the content
        content = new Composite(scrolledComposite, SWT.BORDER);
        scrolledComposite.setContent(content);
        content.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, false));
        content.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));

        //heading font
        FontData fontData = new FontData();
        fontData.setStyle(SWT.BOLD);
        Font font = new Font(Display.getCurrent(), fontData);

        //create the heading labels
        Label label = new Label(content, SWT.CENTER);
        label.setText("Variable Name");
        label.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL));
        label.setFont(font);

        label = new Label(content, SWT.NULL);
        label.setText("Hide Variable?");
        label.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL));
        label.setFont(font);

        //adds 0-many labels to content
        addVariablePairs();

        content.setSize(content.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT,
SWT.DEFAULT));
        content.layout(true);
        return parent;
    }

Thanks

Lionel.
