Hi

I would like to be able to do the following.

I have a page layout with folders split into three areas.

Two views displayed side by side , which take 90% of the page hieght and 50% of the page width. ( Views A and B )

One view along the bottom with takes 10% of the page height and 100% of the page width. ( view C ).

I would like to programatically zoom/maximize view A so that
it fills 90% of the height and 100% of the width ( so it hides view B but does not hide view C ).

Can somebody point me in the right direction.
I can use IWorkbenchPage.toggleZoom() to maximise view A, but I dont know if there is something I can do with the
pageLayout to achieve what I wanr.

Thanks.

I've redirected to RCP since this is not an SWT problem.

There's no API to do what you want. It sounds like you want to reset
the weights on the part sash containers. I'm not even sure how you
would get that except by wading through the presentation/layout code.
That's all internals, and can change at any time (and it pretty scary, too).

If you do want to try and make it work for your specific version of
eclipse, you can have a read of
