Form Editor
The Form Editor enables you to design user interfaces visually. You can select items such as panels, scroll bars, menus, and buttons in the Component Palette and then place them directly on the Form Editor window. As you do, Forte for Java automatically generates the Java code to implement the design and behavior of the application. (The code is visible in the Editor window.) The Form Editor also uses your chosen Java layout manager, which controls the appearance of the components in a window, to control the layout in the Form Editor. If you choose a different layout manager or change its parameters, the Form Editor displays your changes immediately.
The Form Editor consists of three parts: the Form Editor window, the Component Inspector, and the Editor window.
