| Prevent resizing Views in a Perspective [message #447139] |

I am trying to create a top panel with a fixed height.
The following snippet gives the desired effect but it doesn't prevent the user to resize and change the height of the view. Is it possible (as in Swing BorderLayout) to set a fixed height for the top panel and leave the remaining height for the others?
<pre>
layout.addStandaloneView(Navigation.View.ID_VIEW,
false,
IPageLayout.TOP,
0.0f,
IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);
IFolderLayout center = layout.createFolder("Center",
IPageLayout.BOTTOM,
1.0f,
IPageLayout.ID_EDITOR_AREA);
</pre>
Thanks

Its also possible to override
ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor.createWindowContents and add other
items to the Shell around the workbench area. There is an example of
this in the RCP book:

The only caveat is that there is some lost functionality when you do
this. For example, I believe the fast view area on the status bar
cannot be used when this method is overriden.
