Re: Copy and Paste JPanel custom component Netbeans 5.5

Hi,

Thanks for your responses.  Alas I have had no luck with any of your
suggestions.

I ensured each custom component (there are 2) had a default constructor,
with 1st line initComponents().

I even commented out all non generated code  (on both the custom components
and the main dialog) (imports, interface implementations, methods etc). 
Still i get no luck.

I have tried clean and build - still nothing.

I tried creating a new empty JFrame form and Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V from my custom
components to the form - nothing happens.

Originally one of the components did have a custom constructor along with
customized initialization code (see
http://weblogs.java.net/blog/joshy/archive/2006/02/using_custom_sw.html).
After i removed the custom constructor (although I had to edit the main
dialog's .form file since i couldn't open the design to remove the 'custom
creation code' and also removed the custom initialization code from the
initComponents method using a text editor).  This still didn't fix it.


Eventually (and relucantly!) I re-created the components and GUI elements
and then copied in the old code.

This worked and I was able to create a new dialog and copy and paste the
components onto the dialog.

Regards,
Rich.
