Hi All,
I have created my own widget that contains a table control. The problem I am
currently having is the widget only takes up 1 horizontal span of the
composite. My example contains one row of a label and text control followed
below by my widget. Directly using a table control instead of my widget
works fine.
I would appreciate any ideas/help.
public MyExample(Composite parent) {
setLayout(parent);
addControls(parent);
}
private void setLayout(Composite composite) {
// Create a composite to hold the children
composite.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
// Set numColumns for the buttons
int numColumns = 2;
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(numColumns, false);
layout.marginWidth = 4;
composite.setLayout (layout);
}
public void addControls(Composite container) {
Label label = new Label(container, SWT.NONE);
label.setText("Testing");
// create text control
Text control = new Text(container, SWT.BORDER | SWT.SINGLE);
final GridData gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL |
GridData.VERTICAL_ALIGN_END);
gridData.horizontalSpan = 2;
control.setLayoutData(gridData);
// create my widget
int style = SWT.SINGLE | SWT.BORDER | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL |
SWT.FULL_SELECTION | SWT.HIDE_SELECTION;
MyTableWidget widget = new MyTableWidget(parent, style);
}
public MyTableWidget(Composite parent, int style) {
super(parent, SWT.NONE);
// Set GridLayout
int numColumns = 4; // default;
Layout data = (Layout) parent.getLayout();
if (data instanceof GridLayout) {
numColumns = ((GridLayout) data).numColumns;
}
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(numColumns, false);
setLayout(layout);
// Set composite layout
GridData gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
//setLayoutData(gridData);
table = new Table(this, style);
// Set table layout
gridData.horizontalSpan = numColumns;
table.setLayoutData(gridData);
// Show lines and header
table.setLinesVisible(true);
table.setHeaderVisible(true);
}

You need to set the layout data on MyTableWidget
public MyTableWidget(Composite parent, int style) {
.....
GridData gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
gridData.horizontalSpan = numColumns;
this.setLayoutData(gridData);
table = new Table(this, style);
gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
table.setLayoutData(gridData);
....
}

Thanks Veronika,
I have another question regarding the layout. In my widget which extends
Composite, I call super(parent, SWT.NONE); When the widget is displayed
there is a certain amount of area (border) that is lost. Hence, the
alignment between controls above the widget and the widget is slightly off
i.e. the widget is narrowed on all sides. How do I reclaim this lost border
space.
thanks.../john

Hi All,
Found the solution, has to do with the margins. Thanks.
GridLayout layout = new GridLayout(numColumns, false);
layout.marginWidth = 0;
layout.marginHeight = 0;
setLayout(layout);
