Hello everybody
I have a composite that contains a Text control. However, when the
composite is too small to display all the text I'd like to get a
vertical scroll bar.
I tried different things, but don't seem to get any closer to a solution.
I provided a test example below. I'd like to have the scroll bars
(actually a vertical scroll bar would be sufficient) next to the
composite and it should scroll through the text. Or can I have a text
control with scroll bars?
I put the composite into a shell, but in my application it will be
within another composite.
I'd be very happy if someone could enlighten me on how to scroll through
a text composite (that might even be disabled or at least read only) if
not all of the text can be read.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Christian

To get a vertical scrollbar on the Text widget, just create the Text widget
with the SWT.V_SCROLL style. The widget manages the proper scrolling
behaviour for you.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
final Shell shell = new Shell(display);
GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout(1, true);
gridLayout.marginWidth = 0;
gridLayout.marginHeight = 0;
shell.setLayout(gridLayout);
final Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.MULTI | SWT.BORDER | SWT.WRAP
| SWT.READ_ONLY | SWT.V_SCROLL);
text.setText("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog and I
struggle with SWT.");
GridData gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL, GridData.FILL, true,
true);
text.setLayoutData(gridData);
shell.setBounds(100, 100, 100, 80);
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch())
display.sleep();
}
display.dispose();
}
