Remove Description from SWT section

I have a class extending from SectionPart.

public class MyData extends SectionPart{

}

In in the initialize method I am creating a section.

public class MyData extends SectionPart{
    public void initialize(){
        Section section = this.getSection();
        section.setText("List Items");
        ....
    }
}

When I see in the UI under the section I can see there is no description provided but still cursor is blinking there. To remove that I added following code in my initialize method.

public class MyData extends SectionPart{
    public void initialize(){
        Section section = this.getSection();
        section.setText("List Items");
        section.getDescriptionControl.setLayout(new GridData());
        section.getDescriptionControl.setVisible(false);
        ((GridData)section.getDescriptionControl().getLayoutData()).exclude = true;
        section.getDescriptionControl().getParent().layout(true);
    }
}

Now the description control is invisible but I am not able to remove it from layout. Please help me.

The description control will not be added if you do not use the Section#DESCRIPTION style flag when creating your section part. If you are seeing the description control then you must be setting this flag in the styles sent to the section's constructor
