Eclipse forms question: How do I swap in/out a Section or a SectionPart [message #305924]

Hi,

I have a form editor. Depending on the user's choice, I can swap out a
Section and swap in another Section to take place of the swapped out
Section.

I can't seem to make that work...I use
IManagedForm.addPart()/removePart(). But, that does not work.

I have noticed that creating a SectionPart will immediately put in my
form, one after another.

Please advise.

Thanks

Have you tried to call some layout method to revalidate those sections'
parent?

Try doing a reflow();

I did the above after doing IManagedForm.removePart(myPart). Still does
not work. :-(

I also tried section.getParent().redraw()...No help. Any more idea?
Thanks.

Ok, the swapped out Section MUST be disposed as well to get the things
work correctly...Urggg....Took me a lot of time to find out, unfortunately.

An alternative solution would be to set the form's content onto a set of
composites,..these composites can then be hosted on a CTabFolder, and
CTabItems... then based on some selection condition, you can swap using a
stacklayout.

If because of some reason, you can't use the CTabFolder or ScrolledPageBook, than another alternative solution can be search for the Composite in which the section have formpart's and manually dispose all the controls there like

//Get all the controls in the section
// It will be usually 3
Control[] children = getSection().getChildren();
for (Control child:children)
{
// One child control will be composite in which all the formpart components are present.
if (child instanceof Composite) {
Control[] subChildren = ((Composite)child).getChildren();
for (Control subChild:subChildren)
{
// dispose all the component.
subChild.dispose();
}
}
}

This approach is definitely very raw, and not suggested and should be used only if you don't have any other work around.
