| <h1 align="">GUI Form Example Descriptions</h1> |
| <p> |
| |
| This project contains three visual forms that were designed with the IDE's |
| GUI Builder. </p> |
| <p><strong>To open an example form in the GUI Builder:</strong></p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>In the IDE's Projects window, navigate to the default package node within the <br> |
| Source Packages directory.</li> |
| <br> |
| <li>Double-click the node of the sample form you want to view. |
| <p>The IDE launches the GUI Builder and displays the chosen form. |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <br> |
| |
| <h2>Contact Editor</h2> |
| <p>This complex form is similar to Windows dialogs typically used to display and |
| edit database information. The example illustrates the full range of GUI Builder |
| features, including alignment, anchoring, sizing, indentation, and runtime |
| auto-resizing behavior. To view a detailed tutorial including flash demonstrations |
| showing how to build this form, see |
| <a href="http://netbeans.org/kb/60/java/quickstart-gui.html">Designing a Swing GUI in NetBeans IDE</a>.</p> |
| |
| <br> |
| |
| <h2>Antenna Preferences</h2> |
| <p>This example illustrates a type of table-based form commonly used to display |
| related information in visually coherent groups. The GUI Builder's advanced |
| alignment features enable you to group and size non-adjacent components |
| (such as labels, textfields, and buttons) consistently without the need to merge cells manually. |
| </p> |
| |
| <br> |
| |
| <h2>Find</h2> |
| <p>This simple form illustrates a straight-forward layout often used in various |
| applications requiring basic search functionality. The GUI Builder's alignment |
| and sizing features enable you to quickly construct such forms while ensuring |
| that they localize predictably. |
