Question

If I have a text field with SWT, how can I get the field to fill to 100% or some specified width.

For example, this text field will only reach for so much horizontally.

public class Tmp {     public static void main (String [] args) {         Display display = new Display ();         Shell shell = new Shell (display);         GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout ();         shell.setLayout (gridLayout);          Button button0 = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);         button0.setText ('button0');          Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER | SWT.FILL);         text.setText ('Text Field');          shell.setSize(500, 400);         //shell.pack();         shell.open();          while (!shell.isDisposed ()) {             if (!display.readAndDispatch ())                 display.sleep ();         }         display.dispose ();     } }

Make something like this:

Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER); text.setText ('Text Field'); text.setLayoutData(new GridData(SWT.FILL, SWT.CENTER));
