Visual Editor for eclipse

Question

I made a class that represents a composite. I want this composite to take up all available space. How can I do this and have it show up full size in the designer?

Answer 1

You should choose in your parent composite for example FillLayout.

Another way is to choose GridLayout and then set up GridData in your composite to expand on all parent composite.
