extra column in TableViewer/Table in EditorPart [message #459150] Tue, 02 August 2005 17:00 Go to next message

I have a class derived from EditorPart which displays a multi-column
table. When the table first opens, I see the number of columns that I
created, but if I manually resize the window, making it wider, I see an
empty column that fills the remaining space.

The code I'm using is pretty close to the sample from the book "Java
Developers Guide to Eclipse" and looks like this:

public void createPartControl(Composite parent) {
Table table = new Table(parent, SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL |
SWT.MULTI | SWT.FULL_SELECTION);
TableLayout layout = new TableLayout();
table.setLayout(layout);
table.setLinesVisible(true);
table.setHeaderVisible(true);

String[] STD_HEADINGS = { "Name", "Type", "Restrictions" };

layout.addColumnData(new ColumnWeightData(20, 100, true));
TableColumn nameCol = new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE, 0);
nameCol.setText(STD_HEADINGS[0]);
nameCol.setAlignment(SWT.LEFT);
nameCol.setResizable(true);

layout.addColumnData(new ColumnWeightData(20, 100, true));
TableColumn typeCol = new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE, 1);
typeCol.setText(STD_HEADINGS[1]);
typeCol.setAlignment(SWT.LEFT);
typeCol.setResizable(true);

layout.addColumnData(new ColumnWeightData(60,100, true));
TableColumn restCol = new TableColumn(table, SWT.NONE, 2);
restCol.setText(STD_HEADINGS[2]);
restCol.setAlignment(SWT.LEFT);
restCol.setResizable(true);

viewer = new TableViewer(table);
viewer.setContentProvider(new DescriptionProvider());
viewer.setLabelProvider(new DescriptionLabelProvider());
viewer.setInput(input);

}


I've tried all sorts of different settings for the ColumnWeightData but
couldn't come up with anything that would fix the problem.

I've looked at all the example code I can find about creating TableViewers
and can't see what I'm doing that would cause an extra column to appear.
Many of the examples don't include anything about using TableLayout --
when I do that I get only one column.

Can anybody help me to understand what's going on here?

Just a guess because I saw that in an other thread (there the extra
column was intended): take out SWT.FULL_SELECTION and see what happens.

Hope that helped,

Add a ControlAdapter to the table and listen for SWT.Resize.
Then readjust the column widths.
