public final class AttachOptions
extends org.freedesktop.bindings.Constant

Using AttachOptions you control how a Widget placed in a Table uses eventually existing additional space, e.g. because another cell in the same row is much wider or another column much higher.

It may be necessary to encapsulate your attached Widget in an Alignment container. This could look like this:

 Table table;
 ...
 TextEntry number = new TextEntry();
 number.setWidthChars(4);
 Alignment alignNumber = new Alignment(Alignment.LEFT, Alignment.CENTER, 0,0, number);
 table.attach(alignNumber, 1, 2, 1, 2, AttachOptions.FILL, AttachOptions.SHRINK, 0,0);
 

Since:

4.0.10

EXPAND

public static final AttachOptions EXPAND

Like FILL, but also causes the cell to expand and use extra space.

FILL

public static final AttachOptions FILL

The widget gets all the available space. Unless you put the widget inside an Alignment container, the Widget is resized to fill the space. If you do use Alignment containers the Widget itself will not grow, but keep its size while the container controls where it resides.

SHRINK

public static final AttachOptions SHRINK

Although there is additional space available, the Widget shall keep its size or even shrink if possible. This usually gets the extra space distributed evenly among the widget, so you have the Widget centered in the extra space.

Encapsulating the Widget in an Alignment container does not help, since the Alignment container only gets the same space granted the shrinked Widget would get.
