Properties View
Properties view
The Properties view displays and lets you edit the properties of the selected component(s). Different font styles and backgrounds help you to find often used properties and see modified values.
Comfortable property editors
JFormDesigner provides comfortable dialog based property editors for Border, Color, ComboBoxModel, Dimension, Font, Icon, Insets, KeyStroke, ListModel, Point, Rectangle, SpinnerModel, TableModel, TreeModel and all standard data types (String, int, long, etc.).
Relative font specification
Derived fonts are computed based on the default font of the component (from the current look and feel). They are recommended if you just need a bold/italic or a larger/smaller font (e.g. for titles) because they are platform independent. If your application runs on several look and feels (e.g. several operating systems), derived fonts ensure that the font family stays consistent.
In the Properties view, you can quickly change the style (bold and italic) and the size of the font.
In the custom editor you can choose one of the tabs to specify either absolute fonts, derived fonts or fonts defined in the look and feel.
Multi-selection property editing
The Properties view supports editing properties of multiple selected components.
Client properties support
You can use client properties. They can be defined in the Client Properties preferences and set in the Properties view.
