Hi,

I have been trying for hours to solve this problem but with no success Crying or Very Sad

I have a tabFolder with tabs that contain different forms. The problem is that the forms in the tabs do not expand to fill the area and they also lose their scroll bar.

Does anyone have any ideas how i can get the form to expand to fill the whole area with its scroll bar.

Here is the code im using:

Hi,

I think setting the layout for the composite and layoutData for the form should work.

basicComp.setLayout(new GridLayout());
....
form.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH))

Also note that basicComp.setLayoutData is not required.

Thanks for that, I think i have solved the problem now.

I removed those two things you suggestest and after playing round with different layouts. I found Filllayout solved the problem.
