Java – how to create scrollable views in eclipse RCP applications?

What have I tried so far:

In createpartcontrol:

ScrolledComposite sc = new ScrolledComposite(parent,SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.H_SCROLL);
        sc.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));
        sc.setExpandVertical(true);
        sc.setExpandHorizontal(true);
        sc.setSize(ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor.WIDTH,ApplicationWorkbenchWindowAdvisor.HEIGHT);
        final TabFolder tabFolder = new TabFolder(sc,SWT.TOP);

But it doesn't work My problem is that if I resize the program window, the scroll bar won't appear in my view Any ideas?

Solution

Javadoc of scrolledcomposite describes two ways to use it, including sample code To sum up:

>You can set the size @ h of the control / composition contained in the scrolledcomposite on the control / composition itself_ 419_ 13 @ > or tell your scrolledcomposite to use the minimum size of its content

At present, neither of you has done it You are setting the size on scrolledcomposite, but it doesn't make much sense unless you don't use layout manager In any case, see the link above for some official sample code
