Redrawing newly created widget [message #446873]

I have a progam with a shell not drawing newly created widgets.

I can create a shell that displays my widgets, but when I dispose the
widjets and add new ones to the shell. the new widgets do not show up
until I resize the window.

I have tryed the following things:

shell.redraw();
shell.update();
shell.notifyListeners(SWT.Paint,event);

The only thing that works is shell.pack(), but this only redraws if the
window size changes.

I am sure this is something simple

Please share your swt knowledge with me!!

Call Shell#layout(true) or Shell#layout(), they do
the same thing.

You know, I really can't say what's wrong unless I
see your code. Can you post the code for just the class which controls
the shell?

Call layout on the parent of the controls you have just created. If this
causes "parent" to be too small, call layout on the parent of "parent"
instead.
