ScolledComposite with Text wrap [message #458591]

Hi all

I have a layout problem, where I can not see the solution:

I have a lot of Text's initialized with WRAP in a composite. Each text
is lined up underneath the previous with a formlayout, and filling the
horizontal space (left = 0, right = 100).

It all looks fine. Each Text wraps perfectally (if necessay due to the
text length).

But if I take the parent composite, and puts it into a ScrolledComposite
the wrapping stops, and instead theres a horizontal scrollbar.

But if don't want to use the horizontal scrollbar, and instead have the
wrapping of each Text (only having the vertical scrollbar), how do I do
that. I have tried anything I could think of without any luck so far ...

Help is highly appreciated :-)

Ok, I figured it out ... The computeSize in the composite should be set
correctly with a widthHint instead of just SWT.DEFAULT.

To prevent horizonal scroll bars in ScrolledComposite, you have to dop the
following -

>> Do not put SWT.HORIZONTAL as a style bit for the ScrolledComposite
constructor
>> Set a maximum width
>> Set expand horizontal to true
