This is as designed - the property is read-only. Note that read-only properties as grayed out. Changed to enhancement after discussion. Clarification: this enhancement suggests making Designer Size property editable - it is already possible to change this property by dragging of the boundary of the designer or by double clicking on the boundary. Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200803170003) Java: 1.6.0_04; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 10.0-b19 System: Linux version 2.6.24-12-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb) I was changing the size of a button that was inside the form. Original height of the button was "80". I wanted to change it to "150". Accidentally, I didn't delete the previous value and so the resulting button height was "80150". The form expanded along with the button to inhuman portions. So I changed the size of the button in the property window to 150 and I wanted to do the same for the JFrame (resize it using a Properties window). I was really surprised it is not possible to change the size of the JFrame in the same way - I had to undo my operations to fix the wrong form size. Of course, there is always a workaround. However, when the size of the form is editable using drag action on the JFrame boundary, I do not see any reasonable justification for making the size of the JFrame non-editable in the properties. Fix seems to be rather simple. One more thing - I think also nice one. If you double click the border of the JFrame form, a dialog appears. In this dialog, you can set new dimension of the Form. Not very intuitive, but why not... properties window would be better. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 153085 *** |
