PartSashContainer: Children [message #580710] Fri, 13 August 2010 07:19 Go to next message

Hello,

I'm currently trying to create an application using the e4 Application Model. The problem I have there is the following:
If I define a PartSashContainer and it's children, I cannot set their size. The available space is always distributed equally among the children.

E.g. If there are two children in a vertical PartSashContainer, they take both 50% of the available height. But I want the upper one to take a fixed size and the other one should fill the rest.
Is there any way to do that?

Many thanks in advance,

aRne

The relative sizes are controlled by the containerData attribute of the
child (e.g. Part/PartStack). I don't think we yet have a story that
allows you to use absolute sizes so the only possibility is to write
your own SashContainerRenderer which uses a Composite as Container and a
GridLayout to replace it.

We are currently evaluating the possibility remove the use of SashForm
in 4.1 in [1] and I've added a comment so that we add fixed sizes as a
feature.
