ScrolledForm with TableViewer scroll problem [message #335824]

I have a ScrolledForm with two table viewers (upper & lower). Both tables
should occupy 50-50 space in the height of the ScrolledForm.
Initially when the tables are empty it works well. But when the upper
table is loaded with data, it occupy entire space of the form and lower
table becomes invisible (have to scroll down the form to see that table).
I want to have vertical scroll on the tables (not on the form) so that
lower table will be visible.
I tried my best with several unsuccessful layout and layout data
combinations.
Any clues?

Thanks
Amay.

Have you tried just using a vanilla Form for your outer container
instead of ScrolledForm?

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the help. Yes, If I use only Form then my problem is solved. I
am getting exactly what I want.

But isn't it possible in ScrolledForm anyhow? because I am using core
architecture class from our development environment which provides all
default functionalities of a standard viewpart in our environment. And
this class by default creates ScrolledForm only. To convert it into Form,
I would have to override many functions.

Thanks again,
Amay.
