Description _ pkuzel 2002-01-28 10:34:31 UTC

I have one component used at two places: in a wizard and as a customizer. I
cannot use as such because the CustomizeAction improperly creates container that
does not follow standard UI rules (ie. 12,12,12,11 margins).

Wizard provides correct container with borders set. To WORKAROUND it I must
create two components one used for customizer (with borders managed by the
component) and one for the wizard (without borders, they are managed by
container).

One approach

  - container managed borders (it is prefered, is not it?)
  - component managed borders

should be used consistently. The rule should be added to guidelines.

Comment 1 David Simonek 2002-05-06 17:08:30 UTC

Eval:
It's easy to change customize action to put border around customizer
component, however it will need modifications from people which supply
own customizers with borders already included.

Comment 2 David Simonek 2002-05-07 13:50:21 UTC

fixed in main trunk, customizers are now surrounded by default empty
border.

Comment 3 _ ttran 2002-05-10 16:08:45 UTC

I rollback the change made b/w 1.83 and 1.84 in 
core/src/org/netbeans/core/NbNodeOperation.java

because it requires modifications in all existing customizers which
until now are hand-tuned to match the zero margin.  We don't have
enough time to redo all customizers for 3.4.  Feature freeze is behind
the door.

Comment 4 David Simonek 2002-05-14 14:31:31 UTC

ok, as you want Trung, moving target to 4.0

Comment 5 _ pkuzel 2002-05-28 15:04:30 UTC

NbNodeOperation.java new revision: 1.86 contains workaround for XML
module #21547.

Comment 6 David Simonek 2003-02-24 10:04:15 UTC

Postponing to 4.0. Issue should be solved early in the release cycle
in following way:
- renew existing patch to NbNodeOp
- make patches for existing customizers, post on nbdev etc to notify
possibly affected module owners
- integrate all patches together

Comment 7 Jiri Rechtacek 2004-04-23 10:49:34 UTC

Assigned to new owner.

Comment 8 Jiri Rechtacek 2005-11-30 14:11:55 UTC

Is it still valid task? Is somebody affected by this? Can I close as WONTFIX? I
really don't plan to solve before long.

Comment 9 _ pkuzel 2005-11-30 14:26:40 UTC

Yes, it persists. Workarounds are still in place.

Comment 10 Jiri Rechtacek 2007-09-13 10:18:26 UTC

No current nor future plans to solve this problem. Closed as WONTFIX.
