I tried from parent composite, but with and height are always 0.
It seems SWT design. We can't obtain width and heigh of a swt window (a try of OS.getWindowRect return bad result too). Part / e4 is generated with SWT renderer
so i have no solution to obtain theses informations.

You probably ask me why i need theses informations :
I reparent a native windows application in my part and want to maximize the windows with the size of the part. I do it with a moveWindow (i tried a showWindow but it failed after reparenting in the SWT window).

I think you are simply asking the size at a time to compsite is not
layouted hence it's height/width is null.

You need to install a ControlListener on the composite and then you get
informed when composite changes it size.

Ok,yes it's the reason.

My view part is executed. I do createProcess and reparent code in a @PostConstruct method.
I call size methods after. It seems it's too early in the lifecycle to use size methods.

So i can use swt event from my parent composite but is there annotation in e4 to use to be sure composite is layouted.

@after...???
ViewPart.method() {
...
}

Thanks

No there's no (you could give @Focus a try which might be called after
the intial layout has been done) - and because the size can change you
always have to adjust not?
