Dear Peter I prefer not to use the traditional properties window. What i am doing is to build a 'logic simulator' in netbeans for people to simulate their logic-gates-design. Since the gates' logos are in square, so i want to create my ideal panel layout.

E.g. Palette windows etc. are usually used in the context of editing a specific file type. If I understand Your question correctly, You want to use a properties window like in the GUI builder? It seems, the properties window is just hidden for other files, You can e.g. open it using "Windows -> IDE Tools -> Properties". For property sheet extension, this tutorial might help: https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-property-editors.html Kind regards Peter Am 25.07.19 um 17:15 schrieb Peter Cheung: > I am not sure why my reason is so important, but i just want to do these: > > How to maintain there is only one instance of a topcomponent window of a > specific class? > How to close all topcomponent of a specific class? > > OK, my reason is: > > when you open an editor, there is a property window, whatever how many editor > you are opened, since there is only one active editor, so there is only one > property window.
