Thanks a lot..i am able to add a SCROLLBAR to the TabItem..but there is a
method for "ScrollComposite" called "setContent(Control control)"
..hence, i am able to set the content to only ONE widget..
(say a Button)
Hence ,i tried setting the content to a GROUP(Composite object) and tried
adding the widgets to the GROUP object..but they aren't showing up on the
Group..
I am sending the code along with this reply..Could you please go through
it and solve my problems ..
Thanks..

Sorry, but I don't have time to review your code in detail (I get paid
to do that for my employer :-)
From a quick review, however, I can see two problems:
1) You don't set a layout on your Group. It looks like you want to use a
GridLayout there, but you never set one.
2) You can't share the same LayoutData object in multiple widgets; each
widget has to have its own instance. GridDataFactory can help make that
easy.
One more piece of advice: I STRONGLY recommend you read the
article/tutorial on using Layout managers in SWT - it is clear you don't
fully grasp how to use them and that article will help you understand:

Thanks for letting me know..As you mentioned i set a GridLayoutData for
"Group" and i am creating a new instance of GridData for every Widget i am
adding..just for Group i forgot..and even now i am not able to add widgets
to the "Group" in the "ScrollableComposite" which is there in "TabItem" of
a "TabFolder" ..
(in my case Buttons)
but not a single Button is getting added!
I can see the "TabFolder" ,the "TabItem" which contains the
"ScrollableComposite" which shows the "Group" but nothing on the "Group"!!
This problem i have faced previously too..If i add by passing "this" as
the argument while creating the "Composite/Control object" it adds itself
to the Composite parent i have passed..but if i explicitly mention the
"Composite parent" in the argument while creating ..it doesn't add itself
..or maybe it adds but doen't show on screen or the Shell created!!
Thanks.

Please read the JavaDoc comments for ScrolledComposite; it explains how
to use the class and also gives some example code.
You also need to learn more about Composites and Layouts and other
related topics.
Here is some more example code for you to look at. Make sure you study
to understand what each part is doing and why, otherwise you will
continue to be confused by layout problems.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
final TabFolder tabFolder = new TabFolder(shell, SWT.NONE);
final TabItem tab1TabItem = new TabItem(tabFolder, SWT.NONE);
tab1TabItem.setText("Tab1");
final ScrolledComposite scrolledComposite = new
ScrolledComposite(tabFolder, SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.H_SCROLL);
scrolledComposite.setExpandVertical(true);
scrolledComposite.setExpandHorizontal(true);
tab1TabItem.setControl(scrolledComposite);
final Composite composite = new Composite(scrolledComposite, SWT.NONE);
scrolledComposite.setContent(composite);
final GridLayout gridLayout_1 = new GridLayout();
gridLayout_1.numColumns = 3;
composite.setLayout(gridLayout_1);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
new Label(composite, SWT.NONE).setText("Label " + i);
new Text(composite, SWT.BORDER).setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL,
SWT.CENTER, true, false));
new Button(composite, SWT.NONE).setText("Button " + i);
}
scrolledComposite.setMinSize(composite.computeSize(SWT.DEFAU LT,
SWT.DEFAULT));
shell.pack();
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
display.sleep();
}
}
display.dispose();
}
