Hello,

is it possible to get the size of a specific ViewPart?

i want to create a ScrolledComposite inside this ViewPart,
so i have to set the ScrolledComposite's Size to enable the Scrollbars.

Any Ideas?

If you save the parent Composite passed in createPartControl(*) you can
put a resize listener on it ... once the view is layed out, then you
will know your size.

parent.addListener(SWT.Resize, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event e) {
System.out.println("resize: " + e);
}
});

only produces width=0 / height=0 ?

Does it still produce that if you grab one of the sashes and resize your
view? That won't help you with your original question, but tells us if
we're on the correct track.

Maybe by the time your view part setFocus() method is called, you would
be able to ask the parent for its size?

we were, thank you very much.

parent.addListener(SWT.Resize, new Listener() {
public void handleEvent(Event e) {
System.out.println(parent.getSize());
}
});

just the event-object is messed up...
