Multi line text field and TableWrapLayout [message #333784] Mon, 05 January 2009 20:48

Hi there,

Why are multi-line Text fields always displayed with 1 line height when it
is used within a section contained by a form that uses a TableWrapLayout
in conjunction with TableWrapData?

However, if the form uses GridLayout + GridData, then the Text is
displayed with the correct 3 or 4 lines height. Please snippet below.

Thanks in advance!

shell.pack();
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
display.sleep();
}
}
display.dispose();
}
}
