spontaneously I would say - providing SWT.WRAP as style for the Label ?
Label myLabel = new Label(parent, SWT.WRAP);

regards, marion

In 3.1, you can do the following:

public static void main (String [] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
Shell shell = new Shell (display);
shell.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, false));
Button b = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
b.setText("button 1");
Label l = new Label(shell, SWT.WRAP | SWT.BORDER);
l.setText("Here is a label that needs to wrap when it gets too long");
GridData data = new GridData();
data.grabExcessHorizontalSpace = true;
data.minimumWidth = 100; // optional
data.widthHint = 200; // optional but makes shell.pack() give a good
result
l.setLayoutData(data);
b = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
b.setText("button 2");
shell.pack();
shell.open ();
while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
}
display.dispose ();
}
