SWT Layout spoils in time

[gokhanyamac]

Hi there,

Hope can find help. I have provided a customer with a SWT interfaced applications. They are using it on Windows XP and they told me recently that the layout spoils (for example, the button that needs to be under the text field comes next to it) when left open for 2-3 hours. In the beginning, the interface is all normal and I have no idea what happens to the interface to cause that.

Thank you in advance.

We need a lot more information before we can help you.
Please try to create a snippet that shows the problem.
Here's my best guess at a snippet you can start with - I am just guessing that you are using GridLayout.
Note that the layout in this snippet will not "spoil", but it will look "different" if someone resizes the window.

import org.eclipse.swt.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.*;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;

public class ButtonWithTextField {
        public static void main (String [] args) {
                Display display = new Display ();
                Shell shell = new Shell (display);
                shell.setLayout (new GridLayout ());
               
                Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.SINGLE | SWT.BORDER);
                text.setText("Text Field");
                text.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER, true, false));
               
                Button button = new Button (shell, SWT.PUSH);
                button.setText ("Button");
                button.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.CENTER, SWT.CENTER, false, false));

                shell.pack ();
                shell.open ();
                while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {
                        if (!display.readAndDispatch ()) display.sleep ();
                }
                display.dispose ();
        }
}
