Disposing wizard page resources [message #537396]

Hello,

I was learning some tutorials about Wizard in Eclipse RCP. I see many examples and I noticed that we do not dispose top composite in a wizard page.

For example :

public void createControl(Composite parent) {
    // create the composite to hold the widgets   
  Composite topComposite = new Composite(parent, SWT.NONE);
  .....
  .....
  setControl(topComposite);		
}

In the rest of code, the topComposite is not disposed. So my question is : Should I disposing this composite ? wht is the exact role of setControl method ?

Thanks in advance.

Controls are automatically disposed when their parent Control is disposed.
So you don't need to dispose your Composite because it will be auto-disposed
at the latest when the wizard Shell is disposed. It's primarily SWT
Graphics resources (GC, Image, Region, etc.) that you are responsible for
disposing after you create them, since they do not have a containment
hierarchy which would result in them being auto-disposed by a parent's
disposal.

For a more formal statement of these rules see
