In building a form with the FormLayout, I spent a bunch of time this
morning trying to programatically set FormData.bottom on an element of
my form. I want a multi-lined text field with height of 40. I think I
should be able to use the numerator field of the FormAttachment for the
top of the control.
if (controlType.equals("text-multi")){
ctrl = new Text(frmComposite, SWT.MULTI);
FormData formData = new FormData();
formData.top = new FormAttachment(controlAbove,layoutMargin);
int t = formData.top.numerator; // this returns 0, why?
formData.bottom = new FormAttachment(t + 40, layoutMargin);
}
I see that numerator always returns 0 and denominator always returns 100.
Is this not the proper use of FormAttachment.numerator? If so, what
means can I use to calculate where the bottom of my text box would be?
right now, even though I say SWT.MULTI, I am getting a single line text box.
I'm brand new to SWT, so any hints would be great.

To make your widget 40 pixels tall use formData.height = 40.
Numerator and denominator are only filled in if you use FormAttachment (int
numerator, int offset) or FormAttachment (int numerator, int denominator,
int offset) .
