Hi all
There is a problem
I have a TabFolder, one of which includes a text field and the second one includes a table.
If the table has many rows, the table takes up all the vertical space unless I limit the vertical size of the parent composite.
Can i make second tab with table has the same vertical size as first Tab ?
Dmitry

I do not know how you set up the TabFolder and the TabItem controls, but they will have the same height when you define a height for the TabFolder - e.g. when the TabFolder's parent has GridLayout, set

- GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().grab(false, true).applyTo(tabFolder); or (if not all the available vertical space should be used by the TabFolder)
- GridDataFactory.fillDefaults().hint(SWT.DEFAULT, 300).applyTo(tabFolder);

The table will be created with a vertical scrollbar. If you use a Composite as parent of the table, the table's GridData also needs height definition, e.g. grabExcessVerticalSpace = true.

Sebastian
