Standard Widget Toolkit for GTK 3.125.0 · org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout

FillLayout is the simplest layout class. It lays out controls in a single row or column, forcing them to be the same size.

Initially, the controls will all be as tall as the tallest control, and as wide as the widest. FillLayout does not wrap, but you can specify margins and spacing. You might use it to lay out buttons in a task bar or tool bar, or to stack checkboxes in a Group. FillLayout can also be used when a Composite only has one child. For example, if a Shell has a single Group child, FillLayout will cause the Group to completely fill the Shell (if margins are 0).

Example code: first a FillLayout is created and its type field is set, and then the layout is set into the Composite. Note that in a FillLayout, children are always the same size, and they fill all available space.

		FillLayout fillLayout = new FillLayout();
		fillLayout.type = SWT.VERTICAL;
		shell.setLayout(fillLayout);

computeSize	back to summary
protected Point computeSize(Composite composite, int wHint, int hHint, boolean flushCache) Implements abstract org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Layout.computeSize. Doc from org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Layout.computeSize. Computes and returns the size of the specified composite's client area according to this layout. This method computes the size that the client area of the composite must be in order to position all children at their preferred size inside the composite according to the layout algorithm encoded by this layout. When a width or height hint is supplied, it is used to constrain the result. For example, if a width hint is provided that is less than the width of the client area, the layout may choose to wrap and increase height, clip, overlap, or otherwise constrain the children. Parameters composite:Composite a composite widget using this layout wHint:int width (`SWT.DEFAULT` for preferred size) hHint:int height (`SWT.DEFAULT` for preferred size) flushCache:boolean `true` means flush cached layout values Returns:Point a point containing the computed size (width, height) Annotations @Override

layout back to summary

layout	back to summary
protected void layout(Composite composite, boolean flushCache) Implements abstract org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Layout.layout. Doc from org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Layout.layout. Lays out the children of the specified composite according to this layout. This method positions and sizes the children of a composite using the layout algorithm encoded by this layout. Children of the composite are positioned in the client area of the composite. The position of the composite is not altered by this method. When the flush cache hint is true, the layout is instructed to flush any cached values associated with the children. Typically, a layout will cache the preferred sizes of the children to avoid the expense of computing these values each time the widget is laid out. When layout is triggered explicitly by the programmer the flush cache hint is true. When layout is triggered by a resize, either caused by the programmer or by the user, the hint is false. Parameters composite:Composite a composite widget using this layout flushCache:boolean `true` means flush cached layout values Annotations @Override
