Hi,
from the main-method I call the method "initButtons" with constants
colCount and rowCount:

private static void initButtons(){
buttons = new Button[colCount][rowCount];
for (int i=0; i<=colCount-1; i++)
for (int j=0; j<=rowCount-1; j++){
final int col = i;
final int row = j;
buttons[i][j] = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
buttons[i][j].setLayoutData(new
GridData(GridData.HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_FILL |
GridData.VERTICAL_ALIGN_FILL |
GridData.GRAB_HORIZONTAL |
GridData.GRAB_VERTICAL));
buttons[i][j].setText(buttons[i][j].getSize().toString());
buttons[i][j].addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter(){
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e){
handleButtonClick(col, row);
};
});
}

The buttons are always showing "Point{0,0}" but they are in fact much
bigger (about 250x130).
Can anybody tell me how to get the real size of the buttons?
Regards
Thomas Blum

You are calling buttons[i][j].getSize() before the GridLayout has ever laid
out its components. GridLayout will not position and size your buttons
until either 1) the parent (shell in this case) changes size or 2) you call
layout() on the parent.
