Hi..I am developing an editor using SWT/JFace and I am specifying the size
of the window using

getShell.setBounds(200,100,400,500);
getShell().setMaximized(false);
parent.pack();

but its not working.

I don't want the user to maximize the window i.e. I want the size to be
what I have decided..How do I do this??

When you create the shell, what style bits (int argument) are you
passing to the constructor?
See the class Javadoc under the title "Styles:" for what bits can be
used and then look in the SWT class for their meanings.

Hope this helps,
Eric

This is what i have done..

public class EditorTry7 extends ApplicationWindow
{
public EditorTry7()
{
super(null);
}

protected Control createContents(Composite parent)
{
getShell().setText("Graphical Editor ");

getShell().setBounds(200,100,600,400);
getShell().setMaximized(false);

//Add tabfolders and groups
GroupandTabfolder5 GT = new GroupandTabfolder5(parent);

parent.pack();
return parent;
}

public static void main(String args[])
{
EditorTry7 ET7 = new EditorTry7();
ET7.setBlockOnOpen(true);
ET7.open();

Display.getCurrent().dispose();

}

}

I dint get any option as Styles,as there is no argument in "open()"
method..
What should i do as to disable resizing.

Look at your call to the super constructor; do you know why you're
passing null? Do you know the ramifications of doing so, instead of
passing in a Shell object?
Also look at the methods that ApplicationWindow inherits from Window,
specifically getShellStyle()/setShellStyle().
A little reading of the Javadoc and the source code will go a long way.
