PartSashContainer: Children [message #552675] Fri, 13 August 2010 03:19 Go to next message

Hello,

I'm currently trying to create an application using the e4 Application Model. The problem I have there is the following:
If I define a PartSashContainer and it's children, I cannot set their size. The available space is always distributed equally among the children.

E.g. If there are two children in a vertical PartSashContainer, they take both 50% of the available height. But I want the upper one to take a fixed size and the other one should fill the rest.
Is there any way to do that?

Many thanks in advance,

aRne

The relative sizes are controlled by the containerData attribute of the
child (e.g. Part/PartStack). I don't think we yet have a story that
allows you to use absolute sizes so the only possibility is to write
your own SashContainerRenderer which uses a Composite as Container and a
GridLayout to replace it.

We are currently evaluating the possibility remove the use of SashForm
in 4.1 in [1] and I've added a comment so that we add fixed sizes as a
feature.

Thank you for the clarification Tom,

you wrote that the containerData attribute of the
child controles its relative size. This attribute is just a String. Could you please give an example, how to set the relative size using this attribute?

thank you very much,

PartSashContainer
Part(containerData=20)
Part(containerData=80)

The value is a weight (SashForm#setWeight(int[])) and if there are only
2 children this translates directly into percentages.

Is it possible to fix the size? I want to set the relative size of the parts and the user should not resize the parts.

Search for a feature request in bugzilla and if there's no create one.
