requestLayout
public void requestLayout()
Requests that this control and all of its ancestors be repositioned their layouts at the earliest opportunity. This should be invoked after modifying the control in order to inform any dependent layouts of the change.The control will not be repositioned synchronously. This method is fast-running and only marks the control for future participation in a deferred layout.
Invoking this method multiple times before the layout occurs is an inexpensive no-op.

setRedraw
public void setRedraw(boolean redraw)
If the argument isfalse, causes subsequent drawing operations in the receiver to be ignored. No drawing of any kind can occur in the receiver until the flag is set to true. Graphics operations that occurred while the flag wasfalseare lost. When the flag is set totrue, the entire widget is marked as needing to be redrawn. Nested calls to this method are stacked.Note: This operation is a hint and may not be supported on some platforms or for some widgets.
Note: With RAP we can't really force a redraw. This is just a fake to enable event notifications that come on OS systems with redraws.
- Parameters:
redraw- the new redraw state- Throws:
SWTException-- ERROR_WIDGET_DISPOSED - if the receiver has been disposed
- ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS - if not called from the thread that created the receiver

If theallflag isfalse, the children will not be painted.- Parameters:
