Composite invisible? [message #493163]

Hello,
I am creating my own LaunchGonfigurationTab. Initially the method createControl is called by the Eclipse Framework if you extend a class from AbstractLaunchConfigurationTab.

The problem is that nothing of the components I add to the composite are displayed:

public void createControl(Composite parent) {
parent.setLayout(new RowLayout(SWT.HORIZONTAL));
parent.getLayout();
Composite comp = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);

//-Project-Group
Group lProjectGroup = new Group(comp,SWT.NONE);
lProjectGroup.setText("Project Properties");
RowLayout lGroupRowLayout = new RowLayout(SWT.HORIZONTAL);
lProjectGroup.setLayout(lGroupRowLayout);
GridLayout lProjectGroupLayout = new GridLayout(3, false);
lProjectGroup.setLayout(lProjectGroupLayout);

//ProjectLabel
Label lProjectText = new Label(lProjectGroup, SWT.NONE);
lProjectText.setText("Project:");

//Project-Goup Textfield
GridData lProjectGrid = new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL);
lProjectGrid.widthHint = 500;
mProjectTextfield = new Text(lProjectGroup, SWT.BORDER);
mProjectTextfield.setLayoutData(lProjectGrid);
mProjectTextfield.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener() {
public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {
updateLaunchConfigurationDialog();
}
});
....
}

I would appreciate any help..
Thanks and best regards
Alex

Your 'comp' Composite needs a layout.

Hello, first: Thanks for your answer!
Okay I solved the problem with the layout for now, but there is still one problem left:

I want not the standard size so I resize the parent shell. Problem is that all components are only visible after resizing the window?!
I really don't know why and tried everthing like parent.getShell().layout()/update() e.c.

Here is some code:
protected Control createContents(Composite parent) {
parent.getShell().setSize(999, 999);
mComp = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
mComp.setFont(parent.getFont());
mComp.setLayout(new GridLayout());
mComp.setLayoutData(new RowData());

//Preference Group
Group lPreferenceGroup = new Group(mComp,SWT.NONE);
lPreferenceGroup.setText("Preferences");
GridData lPreferenceGridData = new GridData();
lPreferenceGridData.horizontalAlignment = GridData.FILL;
lPreferenceGridData.grabExcessHorizontalSpace = true;
lPreferenceGroup.setLayoutData(lPreferenceGridData);
GridLayout lPreferenceGridLayout = new GridLayout(3, false);
lPreferenceGroup.setLayout(lPreferenceGridLayout);

//Location Label
Label lGeneratorMainFile = new Label(lPreferenceGroup, SWT.NONE);
lGeneratorMainFile.setText("Java Generator Location: ");

//Location Textfield layout
GridData lGeneratorLocationTextGridData = new GridData();
lGeneratorLocationTextGridData.horizontalAlignment = GridData.FILL;
lGeneratorLocationTextGridData.grabExcessHorizontalSpace = true;

//Location textfield
mGeneratorLocationText = new Text(lPreferenceGroup, SWT.BORDER);
mGeneratorLocationText.setLayoutData(lGeneratorLocationTextG ridData);
...
}

I would appreciate any help.
Best regards,
Alex

Moving your "parent.getShell().setSize(999, 999);" to the end of your
createContents(...) implementation will probably fix this.

Hello, first: Thanks for your answer.

I tried that before but if I put parent.getShell().setSize(1000, 600); at the end of the Method I'll get the following error:

"The currently displayed page contains invalid values"

Don't know why and how to solve it, why does it not work?

Best regards
Alex

Hello again,
does nobody know the answer?
The problem still exists.
If I open the preferene page window the first time and select my preference page every component is visible.
If I open the preference page for the second time (my page is now selected initially) the components are all invisible. Only rezising the window makes them visible...

I don't really know what's the problem, so I would appreciate any help.

Thanks and best regards
Alex

composite.layout();
composite.update();

Have you tried this?

Good luck!

Hi,

I am trying to do the same thing and create my own launch configuration tab.

I was able to get my controls to display ok, but I am not sure where to go from here.

I have the following questions:

1. How do I enable the Apply/Revert buttons in the launch config dialog? I have a set of radio buttons, and when one changes I expect Apply to be enabled. I tried using the function setDirty(true) but this doesn't seem to do anything.

2. How do I save my settings when they change? If someone selects an item in a control, how does that change persist?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am really stuck at the moment.

Thanks,
Jason

The eclipse.platform newsgroup is probably a better place for this question.
It doesn't really have anything to do with swt.
