Resizing the Canvas when scrolling [message #147086]

Hi,

I have a graphical editor and i want the canvas to grow when the
viewport is at the edge of the canvas and the user clicks on a
scrollbar. So far, looking at the code, it seems as if i need to
subclass FigureCanvas and at the very least override scrollToX(int
hOffset) and scrollToY(int vOffset) to resize the RangeModels. This is
not a problem. The problem is that i want the ScrollingGraphicalViewer
of my editor to now use my new FigureCanvas. First i tried simply
setting my new FigureCanvas as the ScrollingGraphicalViewers control,
but i had difficulty getting ahold of the LightweightSystem. Then, i
tried subclassing ScrollingGraphicalViewer. Unfortunately, the
createControl(Composite parent) method on the ScrollingGraphicalViewer
(where the FigureCanvas is created) is final!

Am i on the right track here or is there an easier way of setting a new
type of FigureCanvas on the ScrollingGraphicalViewer? Does my approach
to growing the canvas when the user scrolls even make sense?

Thanks for any insight,
Sean Kirby

All you need to do is modify the RangeModel which is used by the
figurecanvas.

Thanks Randy,

The functionality that i wanted is actually more or less already
implemented by the auto scrolling feature provided by the
ViewPortAutoexposeHelper.
