Description Michel Graciano 2008-07-23 01:59:40 UTC

[ BUILD # : 200807040101 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ]

GridBagLayout editor should support component insertion/move between
another components. For example, I have a panel where I need add a
new component, but the location is between already existent
components. Today I need rearrange the components before insert the
new one. The same thing should be done today if I need move a
component for another position.
The proposal is that GridBagLayout editor should have a behavior like
GroupLayout editor (the default editor). When try to insert or move a
new component, the current components are rearranged automatically.
This operation should be cancelable with Ctrl + Z and a 'Cancel'
button as usual.

Regards.

There is a new GridBagLayout designer introduced in NB 7.0, it also supports inserting of columns/rows:
