Adding a New Component

Once you have created a new form, the first thing you will probably want to do is add components to it. You can do this by selecting a component from the component palette or by selecting a bean from the Explorer.

To add a component using the component palette:

  1. Select a component in the component palette by clicking its icon.

  2. To add one instance of the component, click in the Form window in the area where you want to place the component.

    Alternatively, to add multiple components of the same type, hold down the Shift key and click in multiple places.

To add a component using the Explorer:

  1. In the Explorer, find the class of the form component or bean.

  2. Right-click the class node and choose Copy from the contextual menu.

  3. Choose Paste from the contextual menu of either the Component Inspector or the Form window.
