I have just installed JBuilder 2006 and after building up a screen of togglebuttons, panes and labelsusing the designer and replaced the buttons with my custom made ones (and yes, I have a default constructor on all), the designer suddenly desides not to show the layout properly. There is a message saying: "Failed to create live visual subcomponent contentPane (GridBagLayout) as JPanel contentPane;. Creating using default constructor javax.swing.JPanel " The result is a partly shown contentpane with the buttons, but no labels. I even tried remove all my custom buttons, but that did not help. Somewhere along the way, the code got messed up, but I can't figure it why and where. The program runs properly though... Anyone had this problem?

Go to "Tools | Event Log", see if there's any exception there that might explain the problem. It's possible one of your components isn't behaving nicely in the designer. If that is the case, consider wrapping the offending code with: if (!java.beans.Beans.isDesignTime()) { .... } -- Kevin Dean [TeamB] Dolphin Data Development Ltd. http://www.datadevelopment.com/ NEW WHITEPAPERS Team Development with JBuilder and Borland Enterprise Server Securing Borland Enterprise Server http://www.datadevelopment.com/papers/index.html Please see Borland's newsgroup guidelines at http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/guide.html Back to top Kevin Dean [TeamB] Guest Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2005 12:13 pm    Post subject: Re: Designer failes to create contentPane Per Skjondal wrote: Quote: Thats whats so weird.

I had a similar problem after upgrading from JBuilder X to JBuilder 2005 and I was forced (and still is) to open my form using JBuilder X! Try running JBuilder.exe rather than JBuilderW.exe. Hopefully you'll see a stack trace in the console window that will give you some clue as to the source of the problem. -- Kevin Dean [TeamB] Dolphin Data Development Ltd. http://www.datadevelopment.com/ NEW WHITEPAPERS Team Development with JBuilder and Borland Enterprise Server Securing Borland Enterprise Server http://www.datadevelopment.com/papers/index.html Please see Borland's newsgroup guidelines at http://info.borland.com/newsgroups/guide.html Back to top Per Skjondal Guest Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2005 12:37 pm    Post subject: Re: Designer failes to create contentPane Thats whats so weird.

I am initializing the log4j in the frames constructor with the command PropertyConfigurator.configure(propertyFile); The designer don't like this at all. After moving it to a separate method it's ok.

Cheers Per I'll explain why that is a problem. When you run your application from inside JBuilder, the "default" directory is the project directory. People tend to put their log4j property files in easy to find places like that. But the designer is a part of JBuilder, and the "default" directory for JBuilder is the <jbuilder>bin directory. So the designer cannot find your property file. This is immensely annoying, but there isn't a whole lot to be done about it. But I think it's better to understand "why", so you can work around it effectively. -- Regards, Lori Olson [TeamB] ------------ Save yourself, and everyone else, some time and search the newsgroups and the FAQ-O-Matic before posting your next question.

The designer displays a blank screen after completing the new->frame (JInternalFrame) wizard. Components cannot likewise be added to it. I loaded the JB2006 samples dbswing textpane and the designer still displayed a blank screen. There is also no message in the event log. However, the above-mentioned programs run normally. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Wil Lori M Olson [TeamB] wrote: Quote: Per Skjondal wrote: Think I found the problem.
