So I spent another 4+ hours yesterday doing battle with the Scroll container. I just cannot seem to get this container to work right for me.
Here's my scenario. I want to put a Scroll and a Composite inside a Composite. I want these two to flex equally, so that each gets half the size. I want the Scroll to automagically put up scroll bars when its own contents won't fit without them. But there seem to be many problems: Scroll won't autosize to the flex limit. I tried setting the Scroll's height to null, and that doesn't work: it seems the Scroll gets too greedy, and uses way too much of the flex space, stealing it from its Composite sibling. And when I put a groupbox in the scroll, the vertical scroll bar doesn't "reach" far enough down for me to see the bottom of my groupbox; I can't scroll the bottom of it into view. I have to add a magic padding of 24 pixels for no obvious reason. I have to admit that this is my fourth time struggling with Scroll. I am about to throw in the towel and redesign my UI so that I don't need a scrolling container. :) Are there known problems with Scroll? Maybe I am assuming it does something it's not meant to do? I think a clarification of its usage would be really helpful.
