Description meliandra 2004-08-18 14:59:09 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 200408121535 ]
[ JDK VERSION : J2SE 1.5.0 ]

If I double click on a JDialog subclass only the form editor opens. I have to collapse the class and select the first symbol underneath to open the source editor.

Is this how it should works? Not very userfriendly.

Netbeans 3.6 opens the source and form editor after double click on the class.
Comment 1 Milos Kleint 2004-08-18 15:10:00 UTC 
yup, this is a new design. when doubleclicking, you get the form, then
switching to C
http://ui.netbeans.org/docs/ui/switchers/index.html

you can either switch to Source tab in the opened form, or invoke Edit
on the JDialog's node in explorer, the main menu has View/Editors menu
item that also changes the current editor (either Code or Design)

Closing as WONTFIX.

CCing HIE just in case my evaluation was wrong.

Dusan,
what do you think about this ?

It seems like buttons aren't visible although are there forever ;(
Comment 3 meliandra 2004-08-18 15:26:10 UTC 
After reading the article I know that the behaviour is changed.

Perhaps you should document it somewhere.

Is it possible to have a default value to open always the source
editor first?
Comment 4 Milos Kleint 2004-08-19 07:04:05 UTC 
It is being documented for sure, when the docs become part of build I
don't know.

re: configuration: currently it's not possible to configure AFAIK.

CCing patrick from the documentation team.

CC'ing Talley to provide the perspective that it might not be so
intuitive, especially for returning users used to a different way.
