Re: [ve-dev] Null to Gridbag..

[Joe Winchester <WINCHEST@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dave,

Generally this type of question is a
"how to" or "help it's broken" or "I love/hate
the Visual Editor", and the best place for this is the newsgroup eclipse.tools.ve
which is hosted on the newsgroup server news.eclipse.org.   This mailing
list is for questions and discussions about design of the VE.

However,  what you describe should
work.  Having laid the components out in null layout (you can use
stuff like the "Show Grid" or the "Alignment" dialog
to help get things just right) you can switch the container's layout property
to GridBagLayout using the property editor and it will generate pretty
good GridBagConstraints guesses for each component to keep them in the
same absolute position.    Are you doing the switch using the
property sheet ?  Is there anything suspicious in the .log file in
the .metadata directory in the workspace (where stack traces get written
to).

Best regards,

Joe Winchester

Subject:        [ve-dev] Null to Gridbag..


Hi list,
I just recently decided to jump in and start using the ve...  I've
been using JBuilder for a long time for swing design, but love
Eclipse.

I have a gui built in <null> layout.  I did this because I *swear* I
read somewhere that the ve would convert it to gridbag when you
changed the layout.  No such luck, just kind of ignores me..  Any
ideas?
