Question

Is it possible to ALWAYS show the VerticalBar even though there is nothing to scroll?

ScrolledComposite sc = new ScrolledComposite(main, SWT.BORDER_SOLID| SWT.V_SCROLL);

This line of code does not always have the scroll on.

Answer 1

For a ScrolledComposite I don’t think you can do this, at least if you want to have the H scroll function normally. You can call the ScrolledComposite.setAlwaysShowScrollbars() to true, but then it will show both of the enabled scrollbars all the time. (They are enabled by setting the SWT.H_SCROLL or SWT.V_SCROLL in the options). If you don’t ever want horizontal scrolling then this will do what you want.
