I am only a beginner in RCP. I want to keep the size of viewpart in RCP
fixed so that users cannot resize them. I tried :-
layout.setfixed(true)
and it does not work.
Help would be much appreciated.

I think you are setting shell size again in your view.

I am not changing the size of the shell. I just want to fix the size of the
view and make it not resizable by user.
I did Google search and tried one suggested solution to let the viewPart
implement ISizeProvider. However the resultant viewPart can still be
resized.
May be it is the IFolderLayout within the IPageLayout that is being resized
by dragging the mouse at the divider between two IFolderLayouts. Hence
modifying viewPart within the IFolderLayout has no effect on the ability to
resize.

Thanks Dilton. However, when I opened the link, there is no text under the
title.
Anyway, after searching more on the Web, the answers that I am getting are
that it is not possible within the standard platform. So thanks everyone
for looking and responding to my question.
