Hi,
I've set up 2 Tables in a Group. I want both to expand out to fill
the available window using the following:
// Dir and File
currDir = new Group(main_shell, SWT.NONE);
currDir.setText("home");
gridLayout = new GridLayout();
gridLayout.numColumns = 3;
currDir.setLayout(gridLayout);
gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
gridData.horizontalSpan = 3;
currDir.setLayoutData(gridData);
tDirs = new Table(currDir, SWT.BORDER | SWT.V_SCROLL |
SWT.H_SCROLL);
gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
gridData.horizontalSpan = 3;
tDirs.setLayoutData(gridData);
tDirs.addListener (SWT.Selection, new Listener () {
public void handleEvent (Event event) {
network_stuff.sendChangeDir(xml,
tDirs.getItem(tDirs.getSelectionIndex()).getText());
ResyncDir();
}
});
tFiles = new Table(currDir, SWT.BORDER | SWT.V_SCROLL
| SWT.H_SCROLL);
gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
gridData.horizontalSpan = 3;
tFiles.setLayoutData(gridData);
Menu mPop = new Menu(main_shell, SWT.POP_UP);
MenuItem reloadItem = new MenuItem(mPop, SWT.CASCADE);
reloadItem.setText("Reload");
reloadItem.addListener (SWT.Selection, new Listener ()
{
public void handleEvent (Event event) {
System.out.println(event.toString());
System.out.println ("Reload
Selected");
}
});
MenuItem replayItem = new MenuItem(mPop, SWT.CASCADE);
replayItem.setText("Replay");
replayItem.addListener (SWT.Selection, new Listener ()
{
public void handleEvent (Event event) {
System.out.println(event.toString());
System.out.println ("Replay
Selected");
}
});
tFiles.setMenu(mPop);
// Needed to capture which File selected for PopUp Menu
above
tFiles.addListener (SWT.Selection, new Listener () {
public void handleEvent (Event event) {
System.out.println(event.toString());
System.out.println ("File " +
event.item + " Selected");
}
});
This appears to work. But, if there are only a handful of entries in
the tDirs table and hundreds in the tFiles, then any attempt to resize
the window causes the tFiles window to fill the area, and I can't get
the tDirs one back without re-starting.
How can I force it so the 2 tables are always shown, with no regard to
how many entries there are.
I DON'T want to use explicit sizing for these, as the application will
run on both a PocketPC and also a Desktop. Unless there's a way to
handle that programatically.
Cheers,
Eddie

The way GridLayout works is that when a bunch of widgets are trying to fill
the vertical space, the available space is shared between the widgets based
on the result of Widget.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT). The table
with many more items will return a result that is much bigger and as a
result, it will consume a higher percent of the available space. The way
around this is to specify a GridData.heightHint. The heightHint will be
used instead of the result from Widget.computeSize(). The heightHint will
not prevent the widget from filling the available space. However it will
affect the result if you choose to pack the parent (or any parent up to and
including the shell). But you probably don't want to pack the parent anyway
because without the heightHint, a table with many entries will result in a
very large parent.
public static void main (String [] args) {
Display display = new Display ();
Shell main_shell = new Shell (display);
main_shell.setLayout(new GridLayout());
// Dir and File
Group currDir = new Group(main_shell, SWT.NONE);
currDir.setText("home");
GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout();
gridLayout.numColumns = 3;
currDir.setLayout(gridLayout);
GridData gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
//gridData.horizontalSpan = 3;
currDir.setLayoutData(gridData);
Table tDirs = new Table(currDir, SWT.BORDER | SWT.V_SCROLL |
SWT.H_SCROLL);
gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
gridData.horizontalSpan = 3;
gridData.heightHint = 10;
tDirs.setLayoutData(gridData);
for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
TableItem item = new TableItem(tDirs, SWT.NONE);
item.setText("item "+i);
}
Table tFiles = new Table(currDir, SWT.BORDER | SWT.V_SCROLL |
SWT.H_SCROLL);
gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
gridData.horizontalSpan = 3;
gridData.heightHint = 10;
tFiles.setLayoutData(gridData);
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
TableItem item = new TableItem(tFiles, SWT.NONE);
item.setText("item "+i);
}
main_shell.open ();
while (!main_shell.isDisposed ()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
}
display.dispose ();
}
