GridLayout not using all columns on every row [message #450771]

Hi,

I have created a grid layout with 3 columns.
In the first column are the labels.
In the second column are the input fields.
In the third column, there are error message labels.

My problem is, that not each row has an error message label.
This leads to the problem, that when adding the column label of a new
logical row, it is added to the third row of the last logic row.

How to solve this problem? Using another layout, add a dummy label?

Regards,

Cyrill

Create a dummy label and call Label.setVisible(false).

I thought there was a more elegant way to solve that :-(

Thanks,

You could implement each row as a composite and drop your two or three
widgets into the composite. I did a similar thing and have a little routine
for laying out the widgets in order and re-sizing them with the shell. Very
similar to what you are doing. It's not strictly a layout manager, but a few
simple calculations and a few calls to setLocation and you're done.

Alternatively, you can think of the blank label as an " " or one of
those stupid one pixel images in an HTML table!

Alternatively you could use FormLayout.

it is:
set the LayoutData of the only 1 Widget to a GridData having
horizontalSpan=2.

(But from your decription I understood in fact you need a Table...).
