How do I show a table inside a CTabItem using the SWT

Question

This is probably a trivial question for most but here goes...

I am using SWT and want to show a table inside a CTabItem (or a TabItem if it's easier). I tried to create the table and use the CTabItem as the parent when doing so, however it doesnt accept this as a parameter (asking me to change CTabItem to Composite).

I figured there must be a way of showing a table inside a tab, I'm just not sure how to do it, can anyone point me in the right direction?

You have to use the (C)TabFolder as parent instead. And on the (C)TabItem you have to call tabItem.setControl(yourTable).
