Hiding controls [message #438607]

I have a property page where I need to dynamically hide controls on the page and have the space occupied by those controls collapse when the controls are hidden. I call control.setVisible( false ) and the control is hidden but the control still takes up space on the control.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
- Jay

This can only be done with FormLayout (or a custom layout manager) and
requires changing the layout data when a control is shown or hidden. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=49426 for details.
