[SWT] resize problem

[Matthieu BROUILLARD]

Hi all,

i have a problem resizing a Text in a GridLayout.
i have simplified my problem in the following example.
What i want to do is to resize the text1 Text widget correctly.

Here are some screenshoots of what happen, and i post my little example to reproduce.

Thanks for help.

2 columns mode (window is packed)

2 columns mode (window is extended)

3 columns mode (window is extended)


To switch between modes, just give a parameter to the main.

package test;
 
import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridData;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.GridLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Composite;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;
 
public class SWTTest {
Shell shell;

public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
SWTTest tester = new SWTTest ();
Shell shell = tester.open (display);

if (args.length==0) {
shell.setText (2 + " columns test");
tester.createWindow(shell, 2);
} else {
shell.setText (3 + " columns test");
tester.createWindow(shell, 3);
}

shell.pack();
shell.open ();
 
while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) {
display.sleep ();
}
}
display.dispose ();

System.out.println("the end.");
}
 
private Shell open(Display display) {
shell = new Shell (display);
return shell;
}
 
private void createWindow(Composite parent, int nbCols) {
// On cree un GridLayout pr le nbre de colonnes
GridLayout gl = new GridLayout();
gl.numColumns = nbCols;
parent.setLayout(gl);

// Le text prend toutes les colonnes sauf la derniere
Text text1 = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER);
text1.setText("text1");
GridData gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL);
gridData.horizontalSpan = nbCols - 1;
text1.setLayoutData(gridData);

// Le bouton prend la derniere colonne
Button check = new Button(parent, SWT.CHECK);
check.setText("check");

// Le text prend toutes les colonnes
Text text2 = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER);
text2.setText("text2");
gridData = new GridData(GridData.FILL_HORIZONTAL);
gridData.horizontalSpan = nbCols;
text2.setLayoutData(gridData);
}
}
