There are no options to create a fixed (non-resizeable) window in the GUI editor. i.e. if I want to make a fixed window, after initComponents(); I have to type: this.getFrame().setResizable(false); This could easily be a tick box in the Properties window. Testcase: Create a desktop application using the Basic Application style in the New Java Desktop Application Wizard. It gives a basic skeleton on which you can develop. If the project is called Test you will have a skeletion of TestApp.java TestAboutBox.java and TestView.java. TestView.java is the file which contains the UI, the Inspector pane shows a structure like this: FormTestView I I--------[FrameView] I I-------mainPanel[JPabel] I I-------menuBar[JMenu bar] I I------statusPanel[JPanel] Click on any of the components and notice that there are no properties in the Properties Window to make the setResizable property false.
Would be easy if this was a property of FrameView. GUI builder only shows direct properties of the components. Special support for "interesting" nested properties would have to be implemented. Would be good to have more candidates than just FrameView.frame.resizable.
