public final class GridData

extends Object

GridData is the layout data object associated with GridLayout. To set a GridData object into a control, you use the setLayoutData () method.

There are two ways to create a GridData object with certain fields set. The first is to set the fields directly, like this:

 		GridData gridData = new GridData();
 		gridData.horizontalAlignment = GridData.FILL;
 		gridData.grabExcessHorizontalSpace = true;
 		button1.setLayoutData(gridData);
 

The second is to take advantage of convenience style bits defined by GridData:

      button1.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_FILL | GridData.GRAB_HORIZONTAL));
 

NOTE: Do not reuse GridData objects. Every control in a Composite that is managed by a GridLayout must have a unique GridData object. If the layout data for a control in a GridLayout is null at layout time, a unique GridData object is created for it.

Field Detail

verticalAlignment

public int verticalAlignment

verticalAlignment specifies how controls will be positioned vertically within a cell. The default value is CENTER. Possible values are: BEGINNING: Position the control at the top of the cell CENTER: Position the control in the vertical center of the cell END: Position the control at the bottom of the cell FILL: Resize the control to fill the cell vertically

horizontalAlignment

public int horizontalAlignment

horizontalAlignment specifies how controls will be positioned horizontally within a cell. The default value is BEGINNING. Possible values are: BEGINNING: Position the control at the left of the cell CENTER: Position the control in the horizontal center of the cell END: Position the control at the right of the cell FILL: Resize the control to fill the cell horizontally

widthHint

public int widthHint

widthHint specifies a minimum width for the column. A value of SWT.DEFAULT indicates that no minimum width is specified. The default value is SWT.DEFAULT.

heightHint

public int heightHint

heightHint specifies a minimum height for the row. A value of SWT.DEFAULT indicates that no minimum height is specified. The default value is SWT.DEFAULT.

horizontalIndent

public int horizontalIndent

horizontalIndent specifies the number of pixels of indentation that will be placed along the left side of the cell. The default value is 0.

horizontalSpan

public int horizontalSpan

horizontalSpan specifies the number of column cells that the control will take up. The default value is 1.

verticalSpan

public int verticalSpan

verticalSpan specifies the number of row cells that the control will take up. The default value is 1.

grabExcessHorizontalSpace

public boolean grabExcessHorizontalSpace

grabExcessHorizontalSpace specifies whether the cell will be made wide enough to fit the remaining horizontal space. The default value is false.

grabExcessVerticalSpace

public boolean grabExcessVerticalSpace

grabExcessVerticalSpace specifies whether the cell will be made tall enough to fit the remaining vertical space. The default value is false.
