hi all

i have a property page , but when i select it from the properties dialog =
, it makes the dialog too wide

that's because my page control contains a composite whose preferred =
width is too wide due to the form layout i use inside it , and i can't =
change the layout sturcture of it

so i thought about telling the dialog the size of my page=20

the only method i found that looks like what i want is doComputeSize()=20

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////=
//////////////////////////////////////////////

/**

* Computes the size needed by this page's UI control.

* 

* All pages should override this method and set the appropriate sizes

* of their widgets, and then call <code>super.doComputeSize</code>.

* 

*

* @return the size of the preference page encoded as

* <code>new Point(width,height)</code>

*/

protected Point doComputeSize()

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////=
//////////////////////////////////////////////

but i don't know how to use it , i should do something with my widgets =
then i call super.doComputeSize which will compute the preferred size of =
my page control, which will be the same.......

note:All pages should override this method and set the appropriate sizes =
as the documentations say , but i can't find any page that override this =
method

how to handle this situation

thanks

joe
