Hi

I am using Eclispe Linux 3.1 GTK. When I subclass Dialog and
instantiate... the Dialog is NOT resizable. How can I force it to be
resizeable? [This should be the default behaviour from looking at the
code from Dialog from it is not working...] Wonder if this is just a GTK
thing on how it presents Dialogs.

Use SWT.RESIZE style.

it works now...

I put in the constructor after it calls super the
this.setShellSytle(SWT.RESIZE);

it is weird since I do see that in the contructor for Dialog where you
pass a IShellProvider that it set SWT.DIALOG_TRIM which, unless I read
wrong, in Steve Northover's SWT book states that it should include
reszise with SWT.DIALOG_TRIM...

oh well... I will take a look at the definition of the constant but again

thanks it works.
