[Visualswing-developers] My Ideas

[Senthil K. <sen...@re...>]

Hi,

    These are my ideas of how Visual Swing should look like.

1. Include all GUI components in Swing and allow editing of 
properties. The property editor should look like Forte's, allowing 
both editing of String values (like a button's label) AND Object 
values like say the Dimension or Font of the object.. I personally 
used reflection to list the properties of the added component and 
list them in the table (list all methods that are like getXXX()) 
and when an entry is changed, use setXXX() again using reflection, 
to update the component.

2. Allow setting of layouts visually

3. A integrated editor, that lists all events associated with a 
component like that in Visual Basic.

4. Save the layout to an XML file or some persistent form and open 
it again, apart from generating Java code.

    I hope I'm not taking it too far.

Regards
Senthil
