Adding a scroll to the Composite widget [message #465451]

Hi guys,
I'm looking to add a scroll to a Composite widget similar to the
ScrolledComposite, but I want to use a GridLayout for laying out controls
within the composite.

I'm just wondering if this has already been done. Also. Where would you guys
recommend I start? The way I see it the best way would be to extend the
ScrolledCompositeLayout such that it applys a grid layout.. Or my other
option is to extend the Composite and include what's needed to control the
scroll bars..

Can anyone think of a better way of going about this?

Thanks in advance,
Joe

Thinking about it a little more.. Will this work:

1) create a ScrolledComposite with both scrollbars

2) create a Composite with the GridLayout using the ScrolledComposite as
it's parent

3) add my controls to the Composite.

I can't really think of a reason that it shouldn't.. but I'm pretty new to
SWT and would appreciate any suggestions,

Thanks in advance,
Joe

Hi, this is ablsolutely right, but you are missing a few things.
Have a look into the Java doc for ScrolledComposite. You will see that
you have to call scrolledComposite.setContent() (I think) and
gridLayoutComposite.setSize() (I am sure).

Hope that helped,
