RE: [platform-swt-dev] (programmatically) resizing composite widget chil

["Donnie" <eclipse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

While writing up the snippet I realized that I was appending the line number *after* I was calling layout(true).  I changed it to the correct order and it works!  I hate when stuff like that happens.  Thanks so much for the help.  I guess I should write a snippet before posting next time. ;)
