SashForm/Scroll Bars problem [message #458689]

Hi,

My editor uses SashForm to dynamically update what's displayed on the
screen. In other words, when a selection elsewhere changes, I use certain
rule to locate an appropriate composite, and then use
SashForm.setMaximazedControl() to display the info. At any given time
there one of the child composites in my SashForm is maximazed.

The problem I am having is that if the contents of the maximazed composite
are too tall, there is no vertical scrollbar (I do not need a horizontal
one). If I create my composite with SWT.V_SCROLL, then the scrollbar stay
visible all the time and the scrooling is messed up. I would prefer the
scroolbar to go away when not needed.

Thank you,
Alex

Have a look at:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet5.java?rev=HEAD&am p;content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

It uses ScrolledComposite to manage the scrollbar.

What is in your child composite? Does it contain one child or several?
What kind of layout do you have on the child composite? It may not be
neccessary to use ScrolledComposite depending on the answer to these
questions.

Hi Veronika,

Thank you for your help.

My Composite is just a composite with GridLayout. The contents of are
unknown in advance, as the composite is passed as a parent to client code,
which is supposed to layout the controls.
