Application Windows Dynamic Sizing.

[petecheng]

Is there a way in SWT-Designer to make a Application Windows Size Dynamic instead of Specify a Static Size for instance (800X600)?

So the windows will automatically sized according to the resolution of user window? If i set my resolution to 1024X768, and Maximize my window, everything inside the panel will be resized.

I know it can be done by modifing the code, just wondering if SWT-Designer has that feature yet.

Thanks

I'm not sure what you are asking for. Do you want you window to always be maximized when it is opened? What code modifications are you referring to?

As to the size of the components within your window, those will resize themselves depending on the layout manager you are using. You can have widgets keep the same size or grow/shrink as appropriate.

SWT Designer fully supports all of the SWT layout managers, so you should be able to achieve almost any resizing behavior that you like.

Here are an example, I did try all different Layouts, but doesn't seems to solve the problem, maybe you can suggest a layout.


When I Maximized, I want everything else to resized,

I don't want it to look like this.

Based on your screen shots, it appears that you are using a null layout. If you want the widgets to resize, you will need to use a layout manager like GridLayout or FormLayout. Each of those layouts give you the opportunity to specify constraints on how the various widgets are supposed to resize when the window resizes.
