Composite in TabItem Not Showing Its Contents [message #466993] Fri, 20 January 2006 17:01 Go to next message

I can't seem to get a Composite to show its contents after it's been added
to a TabItem. I've looked at the source code in the SWT snippets page on the
eclipse.org website but cannot identify why I see this behaviour.

Can anyone help? The source code is below.

Thanks
