I have been plowing through Eclipse forms as I thought it might be fun and
useful. I got to the Expandable Composite control, which is documented
Eclipse as an example like this:
ExpandableComposite ec = toolkit.createExpandableComposite(form.getBody(),
ExpandableComposite.TREE_NODE|
ExpandableComposite.CLIENT_INDENT);
ec.setText("Expandable Composite title");
String ctext = "We will now create a somewhat long text so that "+
"we can use it as content for the expandable composite. "+
"Expandable composite is used to hide or show the text using the "+
"toggle control";
Label client = toolkit.createLabel(ec, ctext, SWT.WRAP);
ec.setClient(client);
ec.addExpansionListener(new ExpansionAdapter() {
public void expansionStateChanged(ExpansionEvent e) {
form.reflow(true);
}
});
Trouble is, the method form.reflow(boolean) apparently doesn't exist
(anymore?). And if I comment it out, the twisty for the control toggles
nicely but the text never shows up. How is this supposed to be done? If
there is some up to date documents or demos, that would be great (though I
haven't found much).
TIA, Ric

So the answer, if anyone else is curious, is form.layout(). Or, at least,
that produces the behaviour I expected. Is that correct?
Should questions about the org.eclipse.ui.forms package be directed here or
the SWT mailing list?

The Forms API is a layer above SWT, so questions belong here (likewise
for JFace questions).
By the way, the reflow(boolean) method is on ManagedForm (IManagedForm),
not ScrolledForm. Still, I've written quite a bit of forms UIs in the
past 2.5 years and don't recall ever having to explicitly call that
method. Are you sure you're not doing something wrong?
