Class RowDataFactory
java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.jface.layout.RowDataFactory
This class provides a convenient shorthand for creating and initialising
RowData. This offers several benefits over creating RowData the normal way:
- The same factory can be used many times to create several RowData instances
- The setters on RowDataFactory all return "this", allowing them to be chained
- Since:
- 3.5

-
swtDefaults
Creates a new RowDataFactory initialized with the SWT defaults.Initial values are:
- exclude(false)
- hint(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT)
- Returns:
- a new GridDataFactory instance
-
createFrom
Creates a new RowDataFactory that creates copies of the given RowData by default.- Parameters:
data
- RowData to copy- Returns:
- a new RowDataFactory that creates copies of the argument by default
-
copyData
Returns a copy of the given RowData- Parameters:
data
- RowData to copy- Returns:
- a copy of the argument
-
exclude
Instructs the GridLayout to ignore this control when performing layouts.- Parameters:
shouldExclude
- true iff the control should be excluded from layouts- Returns:
- this
-
create
Creates a new GridData instance. All attributes of the GridData instance will be initialised by the factory.- Returns:
- a new GridData instance
-
copy
Creates a copy of the receiver.- Returns:
- a copy of the receiver
-
applyTo
Sets the layout data on the given control. Creates a new RowData instance and assigns it to the control by calling control.setLayoutData.- Parameters:
control
- control whose layout data will be initialised
-
hint
Sets the width and height hints. The width and height hints override the control's preferred size. If either hint is set to SWT.DEFAULT, the control's preferred size is used.- Parameters:
xHint
- horizontal hint (pixels), or SWT.DEFAULT to use the control's preferred sizeyHint
- vertical hint (pixels), or SWT.DEFAULT to use the control's preferred size- Returns:

-
hint
Sets the width and height hints. The width and height hints override the control's preferred size. If either hint is set to SWT.DEFAULT, the control's preferred size is used.- Parameters:
hint
- size (pixels) to be used instead of the control's preferred size. If the x or y values are set to SWT.DEFAULT, the control's computeSize() method will be used to obtain that dimension of the preferred size.- Returns:
