Get Preferred size
<![CDATA[
(From SWT API)
The preferred size of a control is the size that it would best be displayed at.
The width hint and height hint arguments allow the caller to ask a control
questions such as "Given a particular width, how high does the control need
to be to show all of the contents?" To indicate that the caller does not wish
to constrain a particular dimension, the constant SWT.DEFAULT is passed for
the hint.

public class GetPreferredSize {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setLayout(new GridLayout());
Button button = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH | SWT.LEFT);
button.setText("Button");
System.out.println("toControl: " + button.toControl(100, 200));
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
display.sleep();
}
}
