Listener for SashForm [message #441222] Thu, 12 August 2004 14:36 Go to next message

Hello all

I'm using org.eclipse.swt.custom.SashForm and would like to know how I
get informed when the sash is moved.

No matter what listener I add to SashForm (Control, Resize), I do not
get notified when I resize the sash.

I use such functionality to store the weights of the components of the
SashForm in a properties file. So that I can call SashForm#setWeights
the next time the application starts and the sash form looks the way the
user likes it.

Any hint on that is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Christian

I managed to do this adding a listener on the resize event of the
controls inside the sash form.

Hope this helps,
ciao,
Simone Gianni

Ciao Simone

Thanks for your tip. It worked. I have only two composites in the
SashForm and added a resize listener to the first one.

Thanks a lot and have a nice day,
Christian

Why not ask for the wieghts when you are about to save them?

Not elegant, but it will at least solve your problem: Add a control
listener to the composites that are on your sash form and store the weights
on the control resized event. Here's an example:

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());

final SashForm sash = new SashForm(shell, SWT.VERTICAL);

Composite a = new Composite(sash, SWT.NONE);
a.setBackground(display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_CYAN));

Composite b = new Composite(sash, SWT.NONE);
b.setBackground(display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_RED));

a.addControlListener(new ControlListener() {
public void controlResized(ControlEvent e) {
int[] weights = sash.getWeights();
// Store your weights here
System.out.println("Weights: " + weights[0] + " " + weights[1]);
}

public void controlMoved(ControlEvent e) {
}
});

shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}

Because at that time the SashForm is disposed or closed or at least the
components of the SashForm are disposed. Well, it didn't work that way,
maybe I should have tried harder...

Thanx Devon. I'll check that tomorrow (we have 8:41 p.m. here). However,
I need more than just the weights. I also want the composite a in your
example to be always at least 210 pixel wide.

I did not figure out how to do that with SashForm. Using a Sash (with a
selection listener) would work, I guess, however, I don't see how to it
using SashForm. My current implementation works by resizing both
composite a and b and then set the weights of the SashForm... I'll
improve my solution tomorrow using a ControlListener.

Thanks.

Do you know when the application is exiting? If you are a stand alone SWT
app, then save the settings before calling shell.dispose(), or in SWT.Close
or before calling System.exit().

I have to catch the close by listening for an SWT.Close event. However,
at that time all my components are disposed and I cannot get the data
that is inside or at what position the sash is and the like.

That seems wrong. SWT.Close comes in before any components are disposed.
Can you post a snippet?
