Hi,

I'm facing some problem.
I have three composite in a composite.

The top and bottom composite are fixed sized in height.
The middle one may vary in size.
And the parent composite is resizable.

The problem is ;
when a parent composite is resized, the bottom composite comes to the area
of top composite.
I use "top composite" for the "top" form attachment of middle composite
and don't know what to put as the "bottom" attachment of the "bottom
composite".

The idea is like a window with title bar and status bar.

Thanks

As a bottom attachement use FormAttachement(100, 0) which means 100% of
parent composite and no margin so it will always go to the bottom of the
containing composite.

Is this what you mean:

public static void main (String [] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
Shell shell = new Shell (display);
shell.setLayout(new FormLayout());
Composite top = new Composite(shell, SWT.BORDER);
Composite middle = new Composite(shell, SWT.BORDER);
Composite bottom = new Composite(shell, SWT.BORDER);
FormData data = new FormData();
data.left = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
data.right = new FormAttachment(100, -5);
data.top = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
data.height = 200;
top.setLayoutData(data);
data = new FormData();
data.left = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
data.right = new FormAttachment(100, -5);
data.top = new FormAttachment(top, 5);
data.bottom = new FormAttachment(bottom, -5);
middle.setLayoutData(data);
data = new FormData();
data.left = new FormAttachment(0, 5);
data.right = new FormAttachment(100, -5);
data.bottom = new FormAttachment(100, -5);
data.height = 200;
bottom.setLayoutData(data);
shell.open ();
while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
}
display.dispose ();
}

Why don't use a gridlayout.

Thank you for your reply.
I have tried in such way. There's no problem when the parent composite is
not resized. When the parent composite is rezied, the bottom composite
went to the under of top composite.

You should attach top of top composite to new FormAttachement(0,0);
Then attach middle to top new FormAttachement(top, margin);
Then attach bottom to middel composite new FormAttachement(middle, margin);
then attach bottom of bottom to bottom of parent compsoite new
FormAttachement(100,margin);
Do not attach bottom of top composite to middel composite and do not
attach bottom of middel composite to top of bottom composite.
At Last set a default size for all composites beyond which they cannot
be collapsed further.

Regards
Stefan
