| Window Layouts and NetBeans Platform Applications
|
| The NetBeans Window System API lets you manage your application's
|
| window system. For example, you can create a new position in your
|
| window layout for a TopComponent. Or you can split the area in which a
|
| TopComponent is found, and share that area with one or more other
|
| TopComponents. For details on these ways of manipulating your window
|
| system, see Geertjan's blog entries "Creating A New Mode In Your
|
| Application" ( <<a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=871">http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=871</a>> )
|
| and "Creating A New Split For An Existing Mode"
