Layout problem using Eclipse Forms [message #282923]

I'm using the toolkit to create a ScrolledForm. The parent of the
scrolledForm is a composite which is using a FormLayout Manager. So
the scrolledForm is displayed at a fixed size somewhere in the middle
of the parent composite.

Now I attach a TableWrapLayout to the body of the scrolled form and
create several sections which contain some lines of plain text.
Everything works fine until I open enough sections to exceed the
vertical size of the scrolled form... a vertical scrollbar appears and
the right border of the sections disappears under the scrollbar. Is
there a way to tell the form that it should layout the component again
when the vertical scrollbar appears?

Thx,
Rudi

Rudi,

I had a similar problem that was resolved with a hack suggested in the swt
newsgroup.

See subject: "no scrollbars when expanding section with
managedform.reflow"
