[EMF Forms] render view inside a scrollable composite [message #1710197]

Hi

I try to render EMF Forms view so that it can be scrolled vertically:

Composite scrollable = new Composite(mainArea, SWT.V_SCROLL);
scrollable.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, false)); // had also FillLayout here
ECPSWTViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render(scrollable, vmc);

The scroll-bar is there but the view does not scroll - it is somehow "detached" from the scroll-bar. What is wrong with this code?

I lack some SWT experience...

it works - it should be ScrolledComposite, not just Composite

Hi Klim,
ScrolledComposites are ugly to use.
This should work:

ScrolledComposite parent = new ScrolledComposite(composite, SWT.V_SCROLL| SWT.H_SCROLL);
render = ECPSWTViewRenderer.INSTANCE.render(parent, vmc);
parent.setExpandHorizontal(true);
parent.setExpandVertical(true);
parent.setContent(render.getSWTControl());
parent.setMinSize(render.getSWTControl().computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT));

Cheers,
Eugen
