JFace dialog button bar doesn't show until dialog is resized [message #484972]

Hi,

I extend a JFace dialog to make my own. First I implement the
createDialogArea
method, and add all of the components that I want the dialog to contain.
Since
I want the dialog to be a certain size (450x450p) at the end of
createDialogArea I call these two methods:
shell.setSize(400, 400);
shell.layout();

where the shell is acquired at the beginning of the method like this:
Composite composite = (Composite)super.createDialogArea(parent);
shell = composite.getShell();

when the dialog opens, dialog area shows fine but the OK and cancel buttons
don't until i re size the dialog a little and then it's all fine.

Thanks in advance for any help with this, I tried everything and can't
find an
acceptable solution.

To sum up all all that Remy said in that bug:
the reason my two lines of code didn't work (call to setSize() and
layout() methods of the shell) is because the button bar containing ok and
cancel buttons doesn't exist at the time of the call. It does what it is
supposed to do but only with dialog area that is created.
Once again thank you Remy for your help.
