we have one strange issue with scroll bar. Issue is like this:
Eclipse Indigo
SWT:3.5.2
We have created a scrolled composite and then we have created a swt table (with some 4 rows of data) in it. A new gridData is created for that table and a height hint is set as 100.
Problem is when our RCP product is launched (initial state), we see a scroll bar appearing for the table in Windows 7, however in Windows XP we do not see a scroll bar.
To fix this I have increased the height hint from 100 to 103. With this fix I do not see a scroll bar in Windows 7.
I tried searching for this, but couldn't find much information.
1. Is there any platform differences in the behavior of scrolledcomposite.computeSize for Win 7 and Win XP ?
2. We are setting a minimum size for scrolledcomposite. This is actually done for setting the initial size when the product is launched. Does this have anything to do with my scroll bar issue ?
I have pasted my code below:
ScrolledComposite scrolledComposite = new ScrolledComposite(parent, SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.BORDER);
final Composite top = new Composite(scrolledComposite, SWT.NONE);
top.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, false));
top.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
scrolledComposite.setContent(top);
scrolledComposite.setExpandHorizontal(true);
scrolledComposite.setExpandVertical(true);
scrolledComposite.setMinSize(top.computeSize(215, 225));
Label label = new Label(top, SWT.NONE);
label.setText(".details");
GridData gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL);
gridData.horizontalSpan = 2;
label.setLayoutData(gridData);
detailsTable = new ModelPropertyTable();
gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL);
gridData.horizontalSpan = 2;
gridData.heightHint = 103;
detailsTable.createControls(top, gridData, Style.EDIT);
detailsTable.getTableProvider().addListener(this);
Thanks,
Sam

Hi,
It's very possible that the metrics for native tables changed between XP
and Windows 7, which could make your hardcoded height hint of 100 no
longer enough to show your content.
Since you're using a layout to size/position your controls, you need to
compute the Table's preferred size. Do this by creating the Table's
four items, set whether the Table's header should be visible or not, and
set its GridData's height hint to the height returned by
Table.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT, true).
Also note that if your Table will never physically grow beyond its
initial size then you can create it with style SWT.NO_SCROLL, which will
eliminate space that is reserved for scrollbars.
