Description Jan Stola 2000-11-15 11:43:52 UTC
Build 1152 and 70
-----------------

In the documentation there is a section Designing Java GUIs|
Working With Source Code|Modifying Generated Code|
Modifying Code Generation for a Container. But this section has
a confusing name. Its content is not about a container but about a form.
So, the right name should be Modifying Code Generation for a Form.

The first part of this section is absolutely wrong:

>In the Component Inspector, select the container component whose code
>generation properties you want to modify. You can set properties that affect
>the size, positioning, encoding, and active menu bar of a form.
>
>If the selected component is not a container, see Modifying Code Generation
>for a Component.

The content of the Code Generation tab doesn't depend on the fact whether
the component is or is not a container. It depends on the fact whether
it is the form itself or if it is only some component in the form.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
