I have a Shell that contains a single Text control. I want to resize the shell when I type in the Text control, so that it grows and shrinks as necessary to show the text content.
Here is my code:
package com.smartbear.test;
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;
public class TextResizeTest {
public static void main (String [] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
final Shell shell = new Shell (display);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
final Text text = new Text (shell, SWT.WRAP | SWT.MULTI);
text.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener() {
public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {
shell.pack();
}
});
shell.pack ();
shell.open ();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
}
display.dispose ();
}
}
This works if you type characters in the Text. If you insert a line feed in to the middle of some Text it grows vertically as appropriate.
However - if you append a line feed to the *end* of the Text, the Shell doesn't grow - instead the top line of Text is scrolled out of view.
It seems like Text.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT, true) ignores trailing line feeds? How can I get this to work the way I want?
Note I am running on Windows XP, Eclipse 3.6.
Thanks,
Roy

You can try out this workaround to see if it works for you. It uses the line count and line height and sets the size accordingly.
public class TextResizeTest {
public static void main (String [] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
final Shell shell = new Shell (display);
shell.setLayout(new GridLayout());
final Text text = new Text (shell, SWT.WRAP|SWT.MULTI);
final GridData gd = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, false);
text.setLayoutData(gd);
final int lineHeight = text.getLineHeight();
text.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener() {
public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {
int ht = text.getLineCount() * lineHeight;
gd.heightHint = ht;
shell.pack();
}
});
shell.pack();
shell.open ();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
}
display.dispose ();
}
}
