Support for custom layout managers


It is also possible to use custom layout managers in the Form Editor. Any layout manager with a default constructor and that does not use constraints for adding components can be used in the Form Editor when designing.

Important: When adding custom layout managers that do not follow these criteria, you must follow the specifications of the Forte for Java Layout Managers API in order to be able to use the layout manager in the Form Editor. See the NetBeans web site for more information on obtaining and using the Forte for Java Layout Managers API.
