Changing the Layout for a Container

JDeveloper provides a layout property in the Inspector, in which you can choose a new layout for any container in the Java Visual Editor.

To select a new layout:

Select the container in the Structure window.
Click the Properties tab in the Inspector, select the layout property, and click its value field.
Click the down arrow in the layout property's value field and choose a layout from the dropdown list.

JDeveloper does the following:

Substitutes the new layout manager in the Structure window.
Changes the source code to add the new layout manager and updates the container's call to setLayout.
Changes the layout of components in the Java Visual Editor.
Updates the layout constraints for the container's components in the Inspector and in the source code.
