 |
|
HI
The designer Palette on the top of the designer, where you can select the
components that you want to use: JButton, JPanel, etc..
To this designer Palette I want to add some new Swing components. I know
that you can right-click on the palette then properties and then add new
component, but first I do not know how to add an icon, and second:
I want to add several about 20 components and I want to redistribute them,
so I would like to hava a small installation program that adds all the
elemnts to the jbuilder designer,
does anybody know how to do it?
thx and regards Heiner Litz

I think the icon comes from the class's BeanInfo class. Take a look at
the java.beans package. Also, JBuilder has some tools on the Beans tab
of the editor that make it easier to generate BeanInfo classes.

Also have a look at the palette.ini file in your home directory.
Specifying a component image
Each component on the component palette has an image to represent it. If you
don't specify an image for the component, the default JBuilder component
icon appears. If you want to specify a unique image for your component, you
can use the Palette Properties dialog box. The image that represents a
component on the component palette must
a.. Be 16 or 32 pixels square.
b.. Have a file type of .GIF.
c.. Reside in the same directory (package) as the component.
To specify an image for your component on the component palette with the
Palette Properties dialog box,
1.. Choose Tools|Configure Palette or right-click the component palette
and choose Properties.
2.. Select the Pages tab.
3.. Select the page your component is on and select the component.
4.. Click the Properties button to display the Item Properties dialog box.
5.. Choose Select Image and specify the .GIF file you want for your
component.
6.. Click OK to close the Item Properties dialog box.
7.. Click OK when you are finished.
