Missing features when using FormLayout / FormData

Postby jdall » Fri Sep 17, 2004 5:41 am

I've just downloaded SWT Designer 2.1.1 for Eclipse 3.0 and started creating some custom composites.
Why is it not possible to specify values for FormLayout.marginWidth, FormLayout.marginHeight, FormData.width and FormData.height in the property sheet for a Composite or Control?

They were never added because a) they are redundant and unnecessary, and b) no one ever asked for them (until now).

Look for them in the next build.
