I am trying to use a FormLayout in XWT and have have limitted success. For instance the code below works as expected.
That is: attach the top of button1 to the bottom of button0
attach the left side of button 1 to the left side of button 0 + 10 pixels
attach the right side of button0 to the right side of its parent
<Composite xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt"
xmlns:c="clr-namespace:sample.hello"
xmlns:j="clr-namespace:java.lang"
x:Class="sample.hello.HelloWorld"
bounds="0,0,449,171">
<Composite.layout>
<FormLayout />
</Composite.layout>
<Button text="Button Two is attached to me" selectionEvent="sayHello" name="button0">
<Button.layoutData>
<FormData top="0,40" left="0,100"/>
</Button.layoutData>
</Button>
<Button text="Button Two" x:style="SWT.PUSH" selectionEvent="sayHello" name="button1">
<Button.layoutData>
<!--Explanation of FormData *************************************************
attach the top of button1 to the bottom of button0
attach the left side of button 1 to the left side of button 0 + 10 pixels
attach the right side of button0 to the right side of its parent
************************************************************ **************-- >
<FormData
top="{FormAttachment control={Binding ElementName=button0}, alignment=SWT.BOTTOM, offset=0}"
left="{FormAttachment control={Binding ElementName=button0}, alignment=SWT.LEFT, offset=10}"
right="100,-10"/>
</Button.layoutData>
</Button>
</Composite>
BUT I WOULD THINK that the code below would have the same result at the code above but it does not (matter of fact I don't even see button1:
<Composite xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt"
xmlns:c="clr-namespace:sample.hello"
xmlns:j="clr-namespace:java.lang"
x:Class="sample.hello.HelloWorld"
bounds="0,0,449,171">
<Composite.layout>
<FormLayout />
</Composite.layout>
<Button text="Button Two is attached to me" selectionEvent="sayHello" name="button0">
<Button.layoutData>
<FormData top="0,40" left="0,100"/>
</Button.layoutData>
</Button>
<Button text="Button Two" x:style="SWT.PUSH" selectionEvent="sayHello" name="button1">
<Button.layoutData>
<!--Explanation of FormData *************************************************
attach the top of button1 to the bottom of button0
attach the left side of button 1 to the left side of button 0 + 10 pixels
attach the right side of button0 to the right side of its parent
************************************************************ **************-- >
<FormData
top="{FormAttachment control={Binding ElementName=button0}, alignment=SWT.BOTTOM, offset=0}"
left="{FormAttachment control={Binding ElementName=button0}, alignment=SWT.LEFT, offset=10}"
right="alignment=SWT.RIGHT, offset=-10}"/> <!- THIS LINE CHANGED FROM THE EXAMPLE ABOVE -->
</Button.layoutData>
</Button>
</Composite>
ALSO, if you use the first example but move button0 so it is is after the code for button1 then button1 doesn't seem to know about button0 at all (In SWT I can define a button, use it as a control and then define how it is layed out BUT in AWT it seems that a control must precede the element that it controls)...
For example I would expect that the code below should work exactly like the first example in this post but it does not... if there a way to define an element without "laying it out" and then reference it later on and layo it out ?
<Composite xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://www.eclipse.org/xwt"
xmlns:c="clr-namespace:sample.hello"
xmlns:j="clr-namespace:java.lang"
x:Class="sample.hello.HelloWorld"
bounds="0,0,449,171">
<Composite.layout>
<FormLayout />
</Composite.layout>
<Button text="Button Two" x:style="SWT.PUSH" selectionEvent="sayHello" name="button1">
<Button.layoutData>
<!--Explanation of FormData *************************************************
attach the top of button1 to the bottom of button0
attach the left side of button 1 to the left side of button 0 + 10 pixels
attach the right side of button0 to the right side of its parent
************************************************************ **************-- >
<FormData
top="{FormAttachment control={Binding ElementName=button0}, alignment=SWT.BOTTOM, offset=0}"
left="{FormAttachment control={Binding ElementName=button0}, alignment=SWT.LEFT, offset=10}"
right="100,-10"/>
</Button.layoutData>
</Button>
<!--- WHEN button0 is defined after button1 then button1 does not know about button0...
CAN I Define button0 before button1 and then layit out later ? I've tried using creating an element
with name=button0 prior to creating button1 and then using that same name for the element after
defining button1 but that just adds an extra element-->
<Button text="Button Two is attached to me" selectionEvent="sayHello" name="button0">
<Button.layoutData>
<FormData top="0,40" left="0,100"/>
</Button.layoutData>
</Button>
</Composite>
