Initial state/scrolling when Drawing on SWT Components [message #530010] Wed, 28 April 2010 06:45

Hi,

I would like to create a SWT custom component which uses some drawing, like a border and possible other UI gimmicks.

The code example below is a cut down version and illustrates my approach, it uses a ScrolledComposite to display a list of "items", each of them surrounded by a custom-drawn border. However two things do not work:
* The initial display is without the drawings, resizing shows the border correctly
* After resizing, if you scroll down, the part that is scrolled into view does not contain the border

Has anybody a hint for me what is done incorrectly in my code or how I can get the two things right?

Thanks... Dominik.
