Hello together,
I've got problems to control the size of two tables in a rather complex
gridLayout. In my layout I've got an AWT Frame (within a new Composite)
beyond the two tables. If they get lots of entries, they grab the whole
space to the lower bound of my application window and do not even show a
scrollbar. Currently the tables are within an own class (extends
Composite), like the following:
public class CoordTableContainer extends Composite {
CoordTableContainer(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, style);
Table tab2 = new Table(this, SWT.BORDER);
[...]
}
and a different class takes care of the gridLayout, like that:
coordTableContainer = new CoordTableContainer(this, SWT.NONE);
GridData gridDataCoord = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true, 2,
12);
coordTableContainer.setLayoutData(gridDataCoord);
So what can one do to set the size of an externalized (via Composite) table
and force it to use scrollbars? I'm lost ...

finally I managed at least to give those two tables their scrollbars by
making use of a ScrolledComposite in which they are nested.

Now I've got there:
final ScrolledComposite sc1 = new ScrolledComposite(this, SWT.V_SCROLL |
SWT.BORDER);
coordTableContainer = new coordTableContainer(sc1, SWT.NONE);
sc1.setContent(coordTableContainer);
coordTableContainer.pack();
sc1.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true, 2, 12));
But sadly I've still the problem to manage the size of those two
Tables/ScrolledComposites. Everything is well ordered, but I would like to
see them grabing less space than currently.
Any ideas about that?

Using a GridLayout, I had to give the GridData a heighHint and set this
GridData as the LayoutData for the Composite in which the table is placed.
Example:
-----------------------8<--------------------------
final ScrolledComposite sc1 = new ScrolledComposite(shell,
SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.BORDER);
Table tableWater = new Table(sc1, SWT.NONE);
tableWater.setHeaderVisible(true);
tableWater.setLinesVisible(true);
TableColumn columnWater = new TableColumn(tableWater, SWT.NONE);
columnWater.setText("Water");
TableColumn columnKst = new TableColumn(tableWater, SWT.NONE);
columnKst.setText("Kst-Value");
TableColumn columnKstBl = new TableColumn(tableWater, SWT.NONE);
columnKstBl.setText("Kst-Block");
for(int i = 0; i < 27; ++i) {
TableItem item = new TableItem(tableWater, SWT.NULL);
for(int j = 0; j < 3; ++j) {
item.setText(j, "Item " + i + "-" + j);
}
}
for(int i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
TableColumn column = tableWater.getColumn(i);
column.pack();
}
tableWater.pack();
sc1.setContent(tableWater);
GridData gridData1 = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true, 1, 1);
gridData1.heightHint = 400;
sc1.setLayoutData(gridData1);
-----------------------8<--------------------------
The "gridData1.heighHint = 400;" does the trick. :-)
