Simulate user window resize with GridLayout? [message #533432]

Dear All:

Was wondering if there was a way, instead of calling
shell.pack()

to cause a layout manager to reposition the Widgets inside a shell _as if_ the user had resized/positioned the window at a certain x,y,width,height

I cannot find such a method

Any help much appreciated

Thank you!
Misha

I think you are looking for shell.layout(...) method which requests the
layout manager to re-position and sets the size of the children. You can
have a look at various Composite.layout methods that accept different
arguments.
