Hello,
I am trying to display a table that is larger (by height) than the scrollable composite in SWT. The maximum height of the scrollable composite can only be set to (938, 32767). Scroll bars are automatically added to the tables.
I would like the compsoite to be scrollable to the entire height of the table rather than using individual scrollers of tables.
The problem may also be expressed alternatively as:
Composite c = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
c.setSize(100, 100000);
System.out.println(c.getSize());
The size printed out is (100, 32767).
32767 (7FFF) is the maximum value for a short. I am not entirely sure why the size is constrained to the max value of a short since it is expressed as an int in the OS
Please help asap.
Thanks,
Sajit

Hi Sajit,
This is an OS limitation, Controls in general cannot be given a larger size
than this. What behaviour are you achieving by using a ScrolledComposite
instead of the Table's scrollbar? Scrolling by pixel? Scrolling Tables in
tandem? Other?
