does anyone know how to stop an swt window resizing?

i've use this code below which stops it but still alows the arrows on the
sides and cornersL -

Listener listener = new Listener () {

public void handleEvent (Event e) {
switch (e.type) {
case SWT.Resize:
optionsShell.setSize(400,400);
System.out.println ("Resize received");
break;
case SWT.Paint:
System.out.println ("Paint received");
break;
default:
System.out.println ("Unknown event received");
}
}
};
optionsShell.addListener (SWT.Resize, listener);
optionsShell.addListener (SWT.Paint, listener);

can anyone provide any better examples or prompt me in the right direction,

thanks

Creat the shell as a Modal shell

SWT.PRIMARY_MODEL, SWT.APPLICATION_MODEL, etc...

Have a look at SWT

Are you trying to stop resizing altogether or just make it stop after it
gets to a certain size? I don't know of an easy way to stop it after it gets
to a certain size, but you can set a minimum size, a preferred size, and set
resize to false. Take a look at the following snippet:
Shell window = new Shell();
window.setSize(400,400);
window.setResizeable(false);

That will keep the window at 400x400

Create the shell without the SWT.RESIZE style:

Shell shell = new Shell (display, SWT.CLOSE);

Once in a while, generally after Gnome makes a new release, SWT.CLOSE stops giving the desired behavior on GTK Linux. (for example, between the 2.1 and 3.0 releases). I don't think the next release of Gnome will break this, but just fair warning. AFAIK, it works exactly as required on all other platforms consistantly.
