GXT LayoutContainer with scrollbar reports a client height value which includes the area below the s
- by Pieter Breed
I have this code which sets up a "main" container into which other modules of the application will go.
LayoutContainer c = new LayoutContainer();
c.setScrollMode(Scroll.ALWAYS);
parentContainer.add(c, <...>);
Then later on, I have the following as an event handler
pContainer = c; // pContainer is actually a parameter, but it has c's value
pContainer.removeAll();
pContainer.setLayout(new FitLayout());
LayoutContainer wrapperContainer = new LayoutContainer();
wrapperContainer.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
wrapperContainer.setBorders(false);
pContainer.add(wrapperContainer);
LayoutContainer west = pWestContentContainer;
BorderLayoutData westLayoutData = new BorderLayoutData(LayoutRegion.WEST);
westLayoutData.setSize(pWidth);
westLayoutData.setSplit(true);
wrapperContainer.add(west, westLayoutData);
LayoutContainer center = new LayoutContainer();
wrapperContainer.add(center, new BorderLayoutData(LayoutRegion.CENTER));
pCallback.withSplitContainer(center);
pContainer.layout();
So in effect, the container called 'west' here will be where the module's UI gets displayed. That module UI then does a simple rowlayout with two children. The botton child has RowData(1, 1) so it fills up all the available space.
My problem is that the c (parent) container reports a height and width value which includes the value underneath the scrollbars. What I would like is that the scrollbars show all the space excluding their own space.
This is a screenshot showing what I mean:
