Hi Stefan,
If you do not have an IManagedForm then there is no reason to use a
SectionPart. This class is intended to support including sections in
managed forms. The combination of the two provides life cycle management
and notifications.
If you want this functionality then you need to use an implementation of
IFormPage (FormPage for example) that provides the getManagedForm()
method. You can then call
SectionPart#initialize(FormPage#getManagedForm()) when you create the
SectionPart.
If you do not require the features provided by managed forms, then it
should be good enough to simply create your section with the appropriate
composite as a parameter.
For more information check the following Eclipse Corner article:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Forms/article.html
There is information about managed forms under the "Advanced Topics"
section near the end of the article.
Adam
