Wrapping StyledText on a form with TableWrapLayout [message #465937] Fri, 23 December 2005 15:24 Go to next message

I have tried to add a StyledText with SWT.WRAP style to a ScrolledForm
which has TableWrapLayout. However, it seems that the layout algorithm
simply ignores the wrap flag and stretches the StyledText horizontally
without wrapping at all. The same configuration works ok if I use Text
instead of StyledText.

Is this a known problem, and are there any work-arounds?

Thanks,
Hans

I can partly respond, and report a bug in the class
org.eclipse.ui.internal.forms.widgetsFormUtil.java:

The method isWrapControl below is called during the computation of the
minimum width of the form's content, and it does not work correctly for
StyledText controls, because StyledText is derived from Composite. As a
result, the SWT.WRAP flag of the StyledText is being ignored.


static boolean isWrapControl(Control c) {
if (c instanceof Composite) {
return ((Composite) c).getLayout() instanceof ILayoutExtension;
}
return (c.getStyle() & SWT.WRAP) != 0;
}


There are work-arounds, but they are ugly and the issue should be fixed
by the Eclipse folks.
