GradLayout set first two columns equal width to last two columns [message #633520] Mon, 18 October 2010 10:22 Go to next message

Hey,

I am having the following problem:

I have a 4 column grid layout and i set the equal width property to false because the contents look like this

FirstName: | TextField | LastName: | TextField

now i don't want the label's cell to consume the same space as the text field's cell does. But I want that the first two columns consume the same space than the last two columns.

I am using this in an editor and depending which contents the controls have the sizing varies and it looks awkward if you skim thru the editors.

I tried nesting grid layouts but I get vertical alignment proplems.

Is there any decent solution to this ?

Thanks Smile

Hey Sebestian,

I think what you need to do is assign a GridData object to your Text/Label objects.

so:
Composite parent = new Composite(parent2);
parent.setLayout(new GridLayout(4));

Text text = new Text(parent);
GridData data = new GridData()
data.hint(height, width);
text.setLayoutData(data)

Double check my syntax but this should solve your issue.

Hey,

thanks for your reply.

Thing is, i don't want to set hints because I want the columns to grow dynamically when the window is resized. Any idea ?

Hmm I know that for tables I use TableColumnLayout and set the LayoutData to a new ColumnWeightData object with a certain pecent width. Not sure if this works for your issue.

Nesting the layouts is the way to do this. The outer layout would have two
equal-width columns, then within each of these columns would be a Composite
whose layout specified two columns. What vertical layout problems is this
giving you?
