Scrolling composite [message #458920]

I created a composite and set vertical scrolling as style. Then when I
show the composite it has a vertical scroll bar. I did not expect this
because I added no other control to the composite.
Then I start adding other controls to the composite. These controls take
more space then the composite has. When I then use the scoll bar nothing
happens. The only thing that is scrolling is the button in the scroll
bar, not the controls in the composite.

I expected the same behaviour as a the scrollbars in a table.

Is my expectation wrong of the scroll behaviour or is there some other
nifty way to use this.

The SWT.V_SCROLL of Composite just adds a scrollbar,
but doesn't scroll the content for you.

Try ScrolledComposite instead.
