Resizable non modal dialog [message #1269905]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a resizable non-modal dialog but strangely enough this doesn't seem to work.
I created my own dialog class extending "org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog". In my constructor, I specify:

setShellStyle(SWT.CLOSE | SWT.MODELESS | SWT.BORDER | SWT.TITLE);
setBlockOnOpen(false);

And I also override isResizable:

@Override
protected boolean isResizable() {
	return true;
}

My dialog is non-modal but I cannot resize it. What is the problem ? The find dialog in Eclipse (CTRL+F) displays the behavior I want to achieve (it is non-modal AND resizable).

Thank you,
Cédric

Ok, I found the solution:

The isResizable method is called when the super constructor is called, and is used to set the shell style (setShellStyle). This will be overwritten by my call to setShellStyle (so the method is useless here). I have to pass the SWT.RESIZE style as well in my call to setShellStyle.

The strange thing is that the documentation mentions that SWT.RESIZE is used by Decorations and subclasses and by tracker. It doesn't mention that it is used by dialogs as well...
