Hello everyone,
I want to extend ViewForm in order to add methods to enable the setting of
controls to the bottom left/center/right instead of just top
left/center/right. In the java doc it said this class is not intended to be
subclassed. Does this mean, do not subclass, or its not intended to be
subclassed but you can if you want to? Thanks

Chris

I saw the method
protected void checkSubclass ()
is commented in SWT source code.

That means you can if you want to.

Another way is:
don't import the official ViewForm, but copy its content to your own
ViewForm class and do modifications.

ViewForm is not intended to be subclassed. Since the methods you would need
to override to layout additional buttons are package protected, overriding
checkSubclass () will not help you.
