Fix Window Components

[Stefano Ferrari]

Hi,

I'd like to know how I can fix window components in Netbeans: this windows cannot be moved by user but I want only decide where they must be placed.

Are there some parameters to set in My Window Component Class ?



Thanks to all, Stefano Ferrari.

Do you mean TopComponent? Easiest way is to arrange manualy, exit app
and look what is in user dir under Windows2Local.
Then copy necessary files into module layer.

For more info look at http://core.netbeans.org/windowsystem/changes.html

Simple examples are at hg repo main/misc
http://hg.netbeans.org/main/misc/file/tip/platform/samples/
starting with "window-system".

If you're referring to TopComponents, this can help too:

Thanks Fabrizio and thanks to Marek, too.

Sorry if I responde only now, but I was so busy and I've not read email
for some day.

I'm trying to clear the Output panel. The IOProvider apparently is not a
way to do this, but I am not sure how to go about it another way. I can
get a hold of the Output panel through a very naive way:

    WindowManager manager= WindowManager.getDefault();
    Set<TopComponent> topComponents = manager.getRegistry().getOpened();
    for(TopComponent tc : topComponents)
        if(tc.getDisplayName() != null &&
tc.getDisplayName().equalsIgnoreCase("Output"))
 
...but even then I have trouble locating the actual text component which
would let me issue a .clear() or setText("").

Any help greatly appreciated,

Why don't you want to use IOProvider? I use it and it works. Here's what I do:

InputOutput io = IOProvider.getDefault().getIO(outputWindowName, false);
io.getOut().reset();
