1.2.4b : Changing layout data variables

[cebarne2]

This was also a bug in 1.2.3GA.

When I lay down a new control, a Text for example, I immediately tell it to span 4 columns.

Code: Select all

{
   final Text text = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER);
   final GridData gridData = new GridData();
   gridData.horizontalSpan = 4;
   text.setLayoutData(gridData);
}

Then, I decide I want a better name for the GridData object. Using the designer, I change the name to "gdCommandFlags".

But, oops, it has just reset my hSpan property and the code still includes the old variable reference.

Code: Select all

{
   final Text text = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER);
   final GridData gdCommandFlags = new GridData();
   >>error>>gridData.horizontalSpan = 4;<<error<<
   text.setLayoutData(gdCommandFlags);
}

Even after using the Designer to specify an hSpan of 4 again, the old reference still hangs around.

Code: Select all

{
   final Text text = new Text(parent, SWT.BORDER);
   final GridData gdCommandFlags = new GridData();
   gdCommandFlags.horizontalSpan = 4;
   >>error>>gridData.horizontalSpan = 4;<<error<<
   text.setLayoutData(gdCommandFlags);
}

I would expect renaming the GridData variable to perform a refactor instead of simply creating a new variable (and not even cleaning up after the old completely).

Thanks for your support.

This should be fixed in the new v1.2.4 beta we released over the weekend.

It's easy;
you should delete old layout in the lestest inspecter,set a new layout ;
