Description Michel Graciano 2006-05-30 14:42:28 UTC

Hi,
if I have some components that is Generics enabled, I can't use it's easely in
NB form editor. I sugest a easy way to define the field declaration, where is
possible include de Generics statement, maybe as Custom Creation option.
For now, I need to cast my component for another field in my code, after
initComponents call.

Regards

There is already a "Type Parameters" property in the "Code" properties for each component. Was done for 6.0 already time
ago. It makes the variable declared with the generics. You can set it e.g. to <com.me.MyType> (incl the <> brackets).

Now, I've just fixed the code generation to also generate the types for the constructor call, so the custom creation
code will not be needed.
