Customizing a Bean
In the GUI builder, you can customize a bean through the
attribute editor or through the bean's customizer (if the bean has a
customizer).
To customize the bean with the
attribute editor:
- Double-click the bean in the layout window to open the attribute editor.
- Edit the basic attributes of the bean and click OK to establish
the changes. If the bean has a customizer, proceed to the next step to
access its more complex attributes.
- Click Customizer at the bottom of the attribute editor. This
button is active only if the bean has a customizer.
- Edit the properties you want to modify as directed.
- Click OK in the attributes editor to establish the changes.
To customize an invisible
bean with the attribute editor:
- Select the bean's name from the Windows list to open the
attribute editor for it.
- Edit the basic attributes of the bean.
- Click OK in the attributes editor to establish the changes.
To customize a bean that
comes with a customizer:
- Double-click the bean in the layout window to open the attribute editor.
- Click Customizer at the bottom of the attribute editor. This
button is active only if the bean has a customizer.
- Edit the properties you want to modify as directed.
