| Preference page inside CTabItem [message #507664] |

How can I display a specific preference page inside a composite?
I have a list of IPreferenceNode from the the PreferenceManager (PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getPreferenceManager()) and I want to display the corresponding pages in my own composite. I can easily create the composite but I do not know how to display the content of the preference page inside it,
I am aware the there probably some layout issues to be solved (e.g. the content of the page is larger/smaller than my composite).
The final goal is to have the preference pages displayed each one in CTabItems (I have only 3 preference pages and I do not want to have all the default preference dialog displayed; instead I want to have the preferences displayed like Microsoft Word: each preference page should have its own tab).
If somebody has done this before or knows where I should look for more information please let me know.
Time is what you make of it.

Problem solved. I did not set any layout / layout data on the composite of the CTabItem and thus the preference page was not displayed at all (making me think that I was doing something wrong).
For more information on how to get the contents of the preference pages see showPage(IPreferenceNode node) method from the PreferenceDialog class.
