Description _ tboudreau 2000-02-07 20:16:40 UTC

Add a JPanel to a BoxLayout.  Now try to add another component to the Form, not the JPanel.

Possible solution:  Could the form editor track the selected component in the Component inspector, so that if the parent form is explicitly selected, it is the target of the add()?

Comment 1 Tomas Pavek 2000-07-21 13:50:59 UTC

Or components could be added directly to the component inspector (to selected
container). Now they can be only pasted...

Comment 2 Marek Grummich 2000-07-25 09:08:59 UTC

Priority is changed to P4 (normal).

Comment 3 Tomas Pavek 2001-02-23 17:46:55 UTC

Fixed - selected container (to which new component is being added) can 
be "locked" by holding Ctrl or Alt key when doing the add-click.

Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
