Re: How do I remove Button Groups from a gui (gui builder)

Delete them from the UI editor not the code editor. See the navigator window where you can remove them under other components. You can easily change variable names as well. Just right click on a component in either view...UI editor or the Navigator window, or click once on a name in the navigator window and click again but not too fast; double click adds the default event handler. 

I suggest generally playing around with the UI editor. It is pretty similar to almost all UI editors. Also, most features one expects in an IDE are available in the editor. The help menu has a few secrets for the text editor and some other features in the keyboard shortcuts file (none for the form editor there however).

Just a heads up, please notice the notes above the forums before posting. This list is not for general support or help topics. Use nbusers for that. This list is for actually changing the user interface of the IDE or base Platform. nbdev is for the actual development of the project, not those built with it, and [email protected] is for using the NetBeans rich client platform, and thus is similar to nbusers except for using the RCP versus the other IDE features.
