Hi,

What is the proper way to get the initial size of a jface dialog? I have a class which extends TitleAreaDialog. My getInitialSize() method looks as follows:

	@Override
	protected Point getInitialSize() {
		getShell().pack();
		return getContents().getParent().getSize();
	}


It works, but it feels like this is more complicated than it should be.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

BYW... The dialog is way too big (wide) if I don't add the pack().

Kind Regards,

Erwin

Hello, Erwin!

The proper way to size the dialog - determine size of it's child components (without overriding getInitialSize()).
Actually, it is not a RAP question. See http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Understanding-Layouts/index.html for more details.

Best regards,
Yury.
