Hi,

this might be an easy question but I can't seem to solve it. My problem is
the following: I have a section within a property tab. This section can in
runtime change its size (for example when showing details of a master
object). In the property tab there are other sections. I've managed to show
the whole tab properly when altering the size of this section but the scroll
bar doesn't change, so it doesn't allow the user to scroll through the whole
tab without having to maximize it (or any other similar work-around). Has
anyone faced a similar problem? How can I solve it?

Thanks in advance :-)

Mario

This is a case where some running code would be particularly helpful,
especially since some of the participants you mention (section and property
tab in particular) don't come from swt. Are you able to provide something
that runs and shows your problem? In the absence of this, my only guess is
to call layout() on the top-most Composite in the tab, which should cascade
down through the descendent controls and may resize someone appropriately to
fix your case.

Hi,

I've already tried with "layout". I have something like this (parent would
be the parent composite of my section):

parent.getParent().getParent().layout(true, true)

in an attempt to do what you propose. My problem is that when the section
gets bigger the top most composite doesn't seem to change its size, so the
scroll bar is not modified and so I can't scroll down the whole tab. I've
also tried calling pack, redraw and so on ... but nothing works :-(

I've hit the solution. The problem was I have to update the size of the
ScrolledComposite.

If someone has the same problem have a look at the method
resizeScrolledComposite() in the class TabbedPropertySheetPage.
