Hi, given that every view can be dynamically resized by the user, I would like to know how to get it's size (the x axis is enough).

Any idea?

Thanks

Hi,

You probably need to get the size of the control that the view uses. There
is a getBounds() method on the control that would give you its size in
pixels.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi, I didn't focus on this problem till now, and I'm still wondering how to solve it.

You suggested to get the bounds of the controller, but I don't see any way to get this "controller"... any idea?

I just need to know the actual size of the view that my plug-in creates

thanks :))

Hi,

You shouldn't look for a "contoller" but a Control (an SWT class). Your
view's content is created on a Composite (given to you as a parameter of
the createPartCOntrol method). You just should keep a reference on this
SWT Composite object and asks it when you need : getBounds().

Hope this can help

Manuel
