Hi,
I have two components in a SashForm. My sash form sits inside the editor
area in the Eclipse workbench. I want the top component (a table with
one row) to always have a certain size (to ONLY show this row in the
table), irrespective of what size the editor area is. (The bottom
component can take up all the remaining space). The user can resize the
editor area all he wants, but I want the top table to always be = (say)
40 pixels in height.
[Of course if the Editor area is sized to be smaller than the size
required to show the table, this wont work, but I am not worrying about
that now]
Is this possible? setWeights doesnt work since it always maintains the
relative ratio.
Thanks
Partha

If you always want the top part to be the same size, I would not use a
SashForm since the purpose of the SashForm is to allow the user to resize
the top part. Why not use a Composite with a GridLayout and set the
heightHint on the GridData for the top part to be a fixed height and set the
GridData for the bottom part to fill and grab:
Composite c = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout();
layout.marginWidth = layout.marginHeight = 0;
c.setLayout(layout);
Button top = new Button(c, SWT.PUSH);
top.setText("TOP");
GridData data = new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, false);
data.heightHint = 50;
top.setLayoutData(data);
Button bottom = new Button(c, SWT.PUSH);
bottom.setText("BOTTOM");
bottom.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.FILL, true, true));
