Lock components into place?

[kharabeesh]

Everytime I try to move the GUI components in my design in a JApplet all components move and the main pane resizes itself! Is there a way to lock components in the Design window in place or place them in a non-relative way to everything around them So they quit moving around?

AbsoluteLayout works but you must include the AbsoluteLayout.jar with your applet.

My solution is to get the widgets where you want them. Then I select
them all, right-click, and select Enclose-In, then I choose panel.
So I basically trap them in a box where they can't move around as
much....Its not perfect, but it helps.

We use a product called JFormDesigner from JGoodies.  Easy to learn (a
couple of hours, max) and the layout is predictable and clear.

Thanks,

Carl
