In the The Standard Widget Toolkit: A Lean Mean Widget Machine lecture you learned the fundamentals of SWT layout managers. The layout solution demonstrates a very simple example using all four layout managers and their associated classes. Also see the companion project com.ibm.lab.soln.swt.
To run the example, launch the run-time instance of Eclipse (Run > Run As > Run-time Workbench). Select Window > Show View > Other…. Expand Soln: Layouts and select Soln: Layouts Lab. The view should display. Double click on the view title bar so the view
occupies the entire workbench window. Try resizing the window and observe.
Only the row layout responds to resizing. Some information is written to
the Console view of the launch instance of Eclipse when Button 1 is pressed
from the row layout and the grid layout.
The code is very easy to follow. Everything is done in the createPartControl method in the class LayoutView and methods called by it.
The example is contained in a single class in the com.ibm.lab.soln.layouts
package.
