JFace Dialog and TabFolder

[cssr]

Hello!

I'm developing a Java application and when I found swt-designer i was very happy! I know that a similar thing exists for netbeans.. but i prefer eclipse...

Before i've been developing C++ aplications using MFC... and whe I tried to used swt-desinger, i got confuse

I've seen the demos.. and read the documentation..
but i can add buttons and other widgets to a tabItem.. i tried to apply the grid layout to the TabFolder so i could have several columns in my tabItems.. but that doesn't seem to work.. it always stay with a unique column so when I insert i button it covers all the space in my tabItem.. and makes it impossible to add any other widget...

Am i being just stupid?
please help me!!

thanks for the help.
and sorry for my english... i'm Portuguese... no.. not Spain

TabItems in SWT may only have a single child that fills the entire area. If you want to place multiple widgets into a TabItem using some layout manager, you need to drop a Composite widget into the TabItem first, assign the appropriate layout to the composite and then add the widgets to the composite.
