How to wrap the description on the first page of wizard [message #1123053]

SWT Wizard lays out its size depending on various controls, in my case the description of the first wizard page is a long one causing the horizontal size of the wizard to be unnecessary long.
Is there a way to programmatically make it wrap, basically not have the description size taken into account for the horizontal size of the wizard. I see if i have a message (not description) set on this wizard it wraps well but description doesnt behave the same way.

I want to avoid any hard coding on the size because then it looks ugly on different 'resolution/text size' setting of the system.

Any relevant help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kapil,

I'm assuming you're using the

org.eclipse.jface.wizard.Wizard

class to create your custom wizard. Since this code is owned by the JFace project, you might get better help by posting on the JFace forum here - http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/15/
