Hi
When I am using FillLayout(Vertical), the controls are been placed with equal spacing.

But I want to place the control with different spacing. ie. Control-1 should occupy 90% of Composite and Control-2 has to be placed in next 10%.

(If FillLayout wont work, please let me know the other Layout also)

use GridLayout with 10 columns and give control 1 Griddata(Griddata.FILL_BOTH) with a horizontal span of 9 and control 2 with Griddata(Griddata.FILL_BOTH) single span.

something like this
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridData;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

public class SWTGridExample{

	public SWTGridExample() {

		Display d = new Display();
		Shell s = new Shell(d);
		s.setLayout(new GridLayout(10, true));
		Text t1 = new Text(s, SWT.BORDER);
		GridData layoutData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH);
		layoutData.horizontalSpan = 9;		
		t1.setLayoutData(layoutData);
		Text t2 = new Text(s, SWT.BORDER);
		t2.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
		s.open();
		while (!s.isDisposed()) {
			if (!d.readAndDispatch())
				d.sleep();
		}
		d.dispose();
	}

	public static void main(String[] argv) {

		new SWTGridExample();

	}

}

Hi Thanks again.

Its working fine. Initially I thought it will help me but that doesnt fullfill my requirement.

My Requirement is.

My form will have 2 controls. In that control-2 should occupy height of 10px (approx).
Where control-1 should occupy rest. So even while resizing window, CONTROL-2 will be of same height where CONTROL-1 will be resized

same Gridlayout but with single column and control 2 griddata will have a height hint of 10 and control 1 will have Griddata(Griddata.FILL_HORIZONTAL) and verticalAlignment=SWT.BOTTOM.

you have to explore different paramaters of the griddata to play around...
