Hello,

I'm stuck with a problem that's really driving me crazy...

I'm trying to create a Class implementing composite which by default is
inside a CTabItem and which is supposed to hold other widgets.
It's creating a ViewForm which is supposed to offer a button that lets the
user detach or reattach the ViewForm from the CTabItem.

When detaching, it creates a new Shell and sets the ViewForm's parent to be
the shell (using setParent).
It then disposes the TabItem.
The problem is, that whenever I dispose the TabItem the ViewForm inside the
newly opened shell becomes invisible (but not disposed - as the
DisposeEvent tells me).

My second try was to dispose both the ViewForm and the TabItem and to create
a new ViewForm inside the shell - no luck as well, same problem.

The code looks like this:

public class DetachableView extends Composite {

private ViewForm viewForm;
private CTabItem tabItem;
private Composite parent;
private Control child;
private Shell shell;

public DetachableView(CTabFolder parent) {
super(parent, SWT.NONE);

this.parent = parent;

// Create a new CTabItem in the CTabFolder
tabItem = new CTabItem(parent, SWT.NONE);
createContent(tabItem.getParent());
tabItem.setControl(viewForm);
}


private void detach() {
shell = new Shell(Display.getCurrent());
shell.setSize(300, 600);
viewForm.setParent(shell);
//createContent(shell);

// This is when the ViewForm disappears as well...
tabItem.dispose();

shell.open();
}



private void attach() {
tabItem = new CTabItem((CTabFolder)this.parent, SWT.NONE);
viewForm.setParent(tabItem);
tabItem.setControl(viewForm);

shell.close();
shell.dispose();
}



private void createContent(Composite p) {

viewForm = new ViewForm(p, SWT.FLAT | SWT.BORDER);

final ToolBar toolBar = new ToolBar(viewForm, SWT.FLAT);
final ToolItem toolItem = new ToolItem(toolBar, SWT.PUSH);
toolItem.setImage(new
ResourceLoader().loadImageResource("de.test.resource", "down.png"));
final Menu menu = new Menu(toolBar);
MenuItem detach = new MenuItem(menu, SWT.NONE);
detach.setText(i18n.getLocalString("Detach"));
MenuItem attach = new MenuItem(menu, SWT.NONE);
attach.setText(i18n.getLocalString("Attach"));

toolItem.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent event) {
Rectangle rect = toolItem.getBounds();
menu.setLocation(toolBar.toDisplay(rect.x, rect.y +
rect.height));
menu.setVisible(true);
}
});
detach.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent event) {
detach();
}
});
attach.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent event) {
attach();
}
});

viewForm.setTopRight(toolBar);
viewForm.setContent(this.child);
}

}




Any idea???
Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks,
Fabian

Before disposing the CTabItem, call CTabItem.setControl(null).
