hello, im just learning to use the SWT with Eclipse. But im having a few problems with it.
heres my code:
Text read = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);
read.setSize(1,100);
read.setEditable(false);
read.setText("Read here");
read.setBackground(new Color(display,255,255,255));
Text write = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER);
write.setText("write here");
write.setBounds(10,10,200,20);
but my problem is, i need to relocate the two differnt box's on my shell and change the size, etc. but whenever i change those settings, it doesnt seem to change it (the setBounds() method) when i run it. heres a picture here: http://darwin.dbspot.com/window.bmp of what i get
i need to know a way to move those boxes around and change their size. i have read an example that has a picture of what im trying to do, and i typed it in EXACTLY how it was, and mine turned out VERY differnt then the one in the picture of the example. it just throws the text boxes one here, then the one next to it, unless i scrunch it down a bit, then it just fits them all to the little screen.
i hope im making scence(sp?) im in a hurry and kindof rambling on, so if you dont under stand, just tell me and i'll revise it later when i have more time :) thanks for any help.
We did some SWT development and it was understanding Gridbags and GridBagLayouts that was key to doing what you are trying to do. I can't give you more than that, but read the API docs on them.
