what's the best way to add a new row or column to a GridBagLayout in the Form editor's "Custo
when I add a new widget to a form that uses a GridBagLayout in the Form
editor, I then need to go to the "Customize Layout" dialog and position the
widget correctly. But when I get there if I need to add a new row or
column (just now I needed to add a new top row to the gridbag) I don't see
an easy way to do that. What's the best way to get the grid to expand?
Thanks.

Hi,
I think there is currently no action for adding rows into the grid. The only
way is to drag some of your components over the bottom of the panel. This
adds a new empty row(s) marked with red color (this means that this row
contains no components and will have zero height in the run-time). After
adding a row this way you can customize your layout by dragging components
into right positions.

Hi,
Are there any plans to enhance this?
I like the NetBeans GridBagLayout editor very much, but not being able
to insert new components in a new top row / left column is a major
problem with larger layouts.
In other words such an ennhancement would be a huge leap forward and
an excellent use of computer resources vs manpower :)
Regards,
Bernard

There are some plans to rewrite and improve the GridBagLayout customizer,
but no schedule yet.
Please create an enhancement request so we don't forget:
