Adding New Layout Manager into Netbeans

O

onali1811

Hi,

I have written a new layout manager. I would like to provide a support
for it in a GUI tool like Netbeans.

Is there a way (through writing some module) of adding my new layout to
the list of default layouts which are supported by netbeans GUI
designer?

Thanks,
Regards, ON ALI

Yes, as described in NetBeans's integrated help "Using a Custom Layout
Manager"...

Ensure it qualifies as a JavaBean (trivial), and doesn't require fancy
parameters. Then use the palette manager in the tool menu to add it. In
4.1 there was a default palette group for layout managers. In 5.0 you
can either create such a group, or throw the new layout manger into the
beans group in the palette manager.
