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.

Comment 5 Quality Engineering 2003-06-30 18:28:12 UTC 
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
