Content displayed after Resizing of Window [message #445488]

Hello,

I have a very small (sample) app that extends ApplicationWindow, I have
overidden createMenuManager and createContents. When the app runs a
shell window opens with menuba and menus but the table that was created
in the createContents does not show up.
It only shows up when I resize the window.

Just curious as to what am I doing wrong here.

regards Chhil

Have you called shell.layout(true) after creating all the child widgets?

Is this a flavour of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=77441 ?

Hello Veronica,

Thank you....calling the shell.layout(true) fixes it.
I have seen various examples and none of them call this method.

Why does resize fix cause the widgets to be displayed?
Please explain...

Regards Chhil

A resize of the shell results in the Layout on the shell being applied
(Layout.layout).
