Hi,

I have a composite that create a variable amount of text fields and labels next to each other in a grid layout wiith two columns.

Some of that Text fields are higher then others, depending on how much content is in there.

On a new selection, I dispose every child in the parent container and create the new children. After that I call layout on the parent container to lay out the new content.

Sometimes, I can't figure out when, the textfields are overlapping or they aren't shown at all. The selection is a mouse selection. If, after the first layout, I klick on the same object, everything is rendered fine.

Has anyone ever seen such behaviour and can give me a hint on how to solve this problem? If you need any further information, or maybe a screenshot, let me know. I'll be happy to provide.

Kind regards,
-- artur

instead of composite.layout(),try composite.layout(true) or composite.layout(true,true) depending on your parent child hierarchy

why, mr. Anderson, why, why do you persist?
Because I Choose To.

Thanks for your reply. It was my bad. Layout(true) does actually work, however since I have a scrolled composite, I had to set the minimum size of that container and I was setting a new size after laying out the controls. I reversed the order and everything seems to work just fine.
