    public ExpandBarExample() {
        display = new Display();
        shell = new Shell(display);
        shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());

        // Create the ExpandBar on the Shell
        final ExpandBar expandBar = new ExpandBar(shell, SWT.NONE);

        // Add a single ExpandItem to the ExpandBar
        final ExpandItem expandItem = new ExpandItem(expandBar, SWT.NONE);
        expandItem.setText("ExpandItem");
        expandItem.setImage(new Image(display, "src/main/resources/sample.gif"));

        // Create a Composite which will hold all of the content in the ExpandItem
        final Composite expandContent = new Composite(expandBar, SWT.NONE);
        expandContent.setLayout(new GridLayout());

        final Label label = new Label(expandContent, SWT.NONE);
        label.setText("Hello, world!");

        // Set the Composite as the control for the ExpandItem
        expandItem.setControl(expandContent);
        // Set the height of the ExpandItem to be the computed size of its content
        expandItem.setHeight(expandContent.computeSize(SWT.DEFAULT, SWT.DEFAULT).y);
        expandItem.setExpanded(true);
    }

    public void run() {
        shell.setSize(200, 200);
