Hi,

as I noticed from other posts, other users had the same problem:

When I try to drag a custom component to my form, nothing happens. As an example I created a custom component which is derived from JTextfield and has no own implementations: in this case nothing happens on dragging it to my form. On the other hand, when I use the “JideLabel” from Jide Software it works! Is there a special condition custom components have to fulfill?? Is it a bug?->When will it be fixed?

There are not special conditions a custom component has to fulfill. What version of MyEclipse are you working with? Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

petmun,
I was unable to reproduce this issue with the help of the other user who had reported this issue. Ccan you please list the detailed steps that you followed when you ran into this issue.

Hello nipun,

I reproduced the behaviour doing the following:

1) create a new Java-Project -> use jdk1.6.0_07 NOT!!! myEclipse-Standard JDK.

2) create a class like….public class TestTextField extends JTextField {…..} (not in the default package as I learned;))

3) add this class as a widget to the “Manage Palette…”

4) drag it to a newly created form (JPanel).

On my system, nothing happens when dragging the widget to the form.

Would be interestet if you can reproduce it.

Bye,

Peter

Peter,
I was able to reproduce this issue. I’ll file this issue for the dev team. Thank you for reporting this.

[support-eugene]

In most cases the problem is in component code that does not fully embrace design-time. If you use ME 7.0 it should now provide information on what is wrong.

Hi, I am having this same problem.

1. I extend JTextField
2. Go to Matisse Palette>Manage palette>Add Widget
3. When I try to drag my custom JTextField into a form, nothing happens

My custom class has a constructor with no arguments.

I do not understand support-eugene’s comment about “embrace design-time”. And I am not sure where to find the information that is provided to tell me what is wrong.
