How can I modify the code automatically created by Netbeans. Some of that code appears to be uneditable.

Instead, I can copy the code, delete the form file it was in, and paste the code into a new class. But, the form disappears. At this code I have all the code, but I lose the "Design" view entirely.

Ok experts, what can I do.

The reason I want to do this is the Swing pallet (in design view) doesn't have things that I need such as modal window capabilities (jdialogs), and Jlayer capabilities (for a light box effect). Am I wrong about this.

Thank you,
