Hello guy's,
Im kind of a newbe in swt development. What i'm trying to do would be probably simple for one of you but I just don't get it !

I have a view , that is destinated to the login of my application.

(my application connected on a server, and when the apps is connected i just want to put "connected successful with user : x )

Well ... Iv'e got my view and I got 2 composite .. one for the login and one for the message , say logout ... I created 2 classe one for each and named " loginPanel" and logoutPanel. .. well .. I know this is not really a panel but .. its a bad habbit from Swing.

So ... When the view is loaded I show the login window like this :

	public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
		
		parentComposite = parent;
		setMainComposite(new Composite(parent, SWT.NULL));
		//panels = new HashMap<PanelID,IPanel>();
		GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout(1, false);
		mainComposite.setLayout(gridLayout);
		
		new LoginPanel(mainComposite, SWT.NULL);

	}

and this is work fine !!

When my user is connected successfully, iv'e got a listener and I want the listener to remove the content of the mainComposite and replace it with the logout panel.

I've try to dispose and refresh , this is not working well ...
The view is empty , but when I modify the mainComposite it still empty after the refresh Sad

Can somebody help me with that ?

Cheers,

Hi,
though I'm not completely sure if I fully understand what you're trying to accomplish mabye this helps:

Instead of disposing a composite you could use a stacklayout and then just show the logout view on top.

I think I once had the same issue (more or less) and stumpled upon this link:
http:// swik.net/Eclipse/Euxx/Don%27t+remove+controls+from+a+Composi te/b2w9d

Now, in my case using a stacklayout with two composites that contain the "logout" composite and the "mainComposite" works fine.

Regards, Jens
