Hi everybody,
Maybe i'm doing something wrong, I would like to resize a Dialog box i
created , but it doesn't work.
My other problem is i can't fix a size to my Text element.

Thx a lot
Jérôme
PS: here my code

for creating my Dialog

Shell parentshell = new Shell();//fWindow.getShell();
parentshell.setSize(300,200);
AddServerDialog dialog = new AddServerDialog(parentshell);
parentshell.pack();
dialog.open();

In my Dialog class
public Control createDialogArea(Composite parent){
dialog = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);
FormLayout fl = new FormLayout();
fl.marginWidth = 3;
fl.marginHeight = 3;
dialog.setLayout(fl);
FormData data1 = new FormData();
data1.left = new FormAttachment(0,0);
data1.top = new FormAttachment(0,0);
data1.right = new FormAttachment(100,0);
Composite compoInfo = createInformations();
compoInfo.setLayoutData(data1);
return dialog;
}

Can you post the code, you use to resize your dialog ?

Usually you would call

yourDialogObject.getShell().setSize(x,y);

Is that what you are trying to do ?

Do you mean you want it to be resizable by the user, in that case you
need to turn on the resize style. The default style is DIALOG.TRIM,
which is Title, Close button, and Border. In your Dialog subclass
constructor you should add:
setShellStyle(getShellStyle() | MIN | MAX | RESIZE);

If you mean you want to programtically come up with a specific dialog
size, then in your Dialog subclass you need to override getInitialSize()
and return a different size then the default, which is the preferred
size for the dialog depending on the contents.

I can't answer about the Text element because your example here has no
text element in it to see what you are doing.

Thanks,
