#23388 — No Box.createRigidArea .. In NetBeans Toolbox

I don't think that "Box" is a control in the NetBeans toolbox.

Consequently, I'd like to simulate the following lines of code. 

Question: How do I do it?


JPanel MyPanel;

MyPanel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimensions 20,25));
MyPanel.add. ...


MyPanel.add(Box.createHorizontalGlue());


Thanks,

IIRC you can add components to the toolbox.

Type it in directly?

Variable names are supposed to begin with a lower-case letter.

> MyPanel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimensions 20,25));

This doesn't throw a 'NullPointerException' for you?

It should.

Why would you add that to the panel?

You have to select BoxLayout on your panel form first.  Then the rigid 
separators and glue appear on the Pallet.  Scroll down to Swing Filler 
to find them (it's a ways).

I tried following these steps exactly, but I couldn't find "Swing Filler". The closest thing that I found was "Separator".

Why am I not seeing "Swing Filler".

Beats me.  I'm using NetBeans 7.2, if that helps.  I see two separators 
in the Palette, one is under Swing Controls and the other is under Swing 
Menus.  Keeps scrolling, it's further down than either.

Same in 7.3. Swing Fillers may be easier to spot if the other tree 
nodes are closed.

There has been support for the Box.Filler class since NetBeans 7.0.
