You will get zero for getSize, getLocation and getBounds if the
component has not yet been layouted. You should call computeSize.

Yes, Ben is right. When i called the component's setSize() method both
getSize() and getBounds() works,but it got zero when you do not called the
setSize() method.

For more: is computeSize method a standard method of a component?

Yes. But it might not work as you may intend.
Just try out!

Carefully read the API of computeSize. You pass in two arguments, for
a width- and a height-hint. If both args are SWT.DEFAULT, the preferred
width and height is calculated with no constraint.
