ScrolledComposite setContent problem [message #465704] Tue, 20 December 2005 09:21 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm trying to change a ScrolledComposite content with setContent. When I
set a Composite to the ScrolledComposite for the first time, It shows up
fine, but when I set the same Composite later on to the same
ScrolledComposite it doesn't show up anymore. I checked in debug that
the ScrolledComposite gets the setted Composite to its content, but it
just don't show up. Here's some code of what i've tried to do:

//class variables for the composites
private Composite compBasicInfo = null;
private Composite compMail = null;
private ScrolledComposite scrollComp = null;

//the code that creates the composites
groupContent = new Group(sShell, SWT.NONE);
groupContent.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
scrollComp = new ScrolledComposite(groupContent, SWT.H_SCROLL |
SWT.V_SCROLL);
compBasicInfo = new BasicInfoPage(scrollComp,SWT.NONE);
compMail = new MailPage(scrollComp,SWT.NONE);
groupContent.setLayout(new FillLayout());
groupContent.layout(true);

//the code that sets the content to the scrolledcomposite
if(((String)(itemSelected.getData())).equals("basicInformation ")){
scrollComp.setVisible(true);
compBasicInfo.setVisible(true);
scrollComp.setContent(compBasicInfo);
}
if(((String)(itemSelected.getData())).equals("mail")){
scrollComp.setVisible(true);
compMail.setVisible(true);
scrollComp.setContent(compMail);
}

So what I mean is that when that above code is used, the
ScrolledComposite shows the composite (that has been set up with
setContent) when it is set up for the first time. But when it is set
again later on, it wont show up?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Try doing a relayout of the scrollComp after setting the content.

Another thing to look out for: Sometime not setting a layout on a
component can cause behaviour as you describe it. So check all your
components if they hava a layout assigned to them.

Hi,

scrollComp did not have any layout in it, but I tried a few and
relayouted it after setting the content. No joy.. I can go around this
by doing a separate ScrolledComposite for each composite and then use
stacklayout to show/hide correct content in the group (tried this and
works), but it would be simpler to do it with just one, if possible.

So to be clear, setting a layout in scrollComp and doing
scrollComp.layout() didn't help. It's the same as before, first time
when setting a composite to scrollComp, it shows, after that when
resetting the same composite, nothing (but when setting a composite that
has not yet been in the scrollComp it shows).

I didn't mean the scrollComp itself but the body contained in the
scrollComp. The layout setting was realted to the children of the
scrollComp.
But this might not be the problem in your case.
