It has been a few days that I've started using netbeans's gui designer.
I have built and tested all the panels I need for my project,
but today when I wanted to add some action listeners to my MainPanel.java class and tried to open it in design view, it didn't open.
It shows loading the panel but there is no sign of viewing it.
I can see the JPanel's code and I can see and open my other panels' design view.
It's only this one.
I searched the net but I couldn't find a proper answer.
Can anyone help me?
Does anyone have any idea what is the problem?
I'm using windows 7 and netbeans 8.0.2.
here are my design classes:
FinancialDocumentsJFrame.java
MainPanel.java
BillEntryPanel.java
ReceiptEntryPanel.java
SearchPanel.java
PaymentJFrame.java
I can open the design view of other classes. It's only MainPanel.java that dose not open and can see its code only. I'm also using some other java classes, too. Rather than form classes.
I made a new class and copied the existing class code in to it and it worked again.
Good Luck with your codes.

I am working on an application and want to use MaterialFX's dialog windows. I previously used JOptionPanes that were easy to code and did not require direct use of Scenebuilder/Java FX.
I looked through the author's github, Palexdev, and found this:
https://javadoc.io/doc/io.github.palexdev/materialfx/latest/MaterialFX/io/github/palexdev/materialfx/dialogs/package-summary.html
But I am still having difficulty creating them, so if anyone could point me in any direction that would be great. Thanks
I have been trying for the past few hours to figure out how to add a label component to a window however with no prevail. I have created a new desktop application project in Netbeans and it comes with pre-generated code. I want to add a label to it but it just does not show?. I am unsure as to why because i am following the normal panel.add(component) convention.
Would really appreciate some help!. I pasted the full file sourecode here http://pastebin.com/qJk6bSWn .
Any ideas?
What layout is your JPanel using? If it's using the Netbeans GUI builder default of free design you won't be able to manually add components. You'll need to set it to some layout manager.
Parts of your gui can have the Free Design layout, but you'll need to change the layout of the components that you want to manually add to.
Right now I am working on a GUI application In java using the GUI builder that comes with NetBeans.
However I have found some kind of strange bug/feature, as I am no longer able to see the window that allows users to change between "source" and "design" (Design is the drag and drop NetBeans gui builder while source is the code where you can add your own methods and so forth).
NOTE: the red is censored information that is not necessary.
When I right click on a component to add event code, then it takes me to the source (without a window for me to change back to design, it goes back to design when i close and reopen it). So I know that NetBeans recognizes that this is indeed a JFrame form with the NetBeans GUI designer, and the source code is indeed availible..
I could not find any answers to this question on this site or on the web, I have tried resetting the windows but it did not work, I also couldn't find the window when I clicked on the window option. I am sure there is some easy question but I am unable to find it. Please forgive me if this was an easy question.
On the menu bar, try clicking View -> Show Editor Toolbar
I'm building an application with the NetBeans Platform, and I'm trying to create nested NetBeans tab groups, as shown in the following mock-up:
Nested Tabs Mockup
I know that I can create a Tabbed Pane, but Tabbed Panes don't have the level of flexibility that NetBeans tabs do (rearrange tab orders, tear away tabs, etc.). I want to use NetBeans tabs at all levels of nesting in my application. However, despite hours searching online, I have not found a way to implement this either through the Matisse builder or through Swing coding.
I would appreciate any advice anybody could provide. Thanks in advance for your help!
Try to learn more about tabs in Nb platform, this blog page could help you for what you look for.
I am creating a Java desktop application where the user will enter his name and age and press next, like given below in image 1.
And the action would perform would be like given in the image below in image 2.
I went through all tutorials on the Netbeans site, but still I was not able find any solution. I want to build this application like what we see when we install some application on Windows, we select some option and press next and a new window will appear with the result or more options. Please somebody help me with step by step instruction.
I don't think you'll get as much out of "step by step" instructions as you will going through the tutorials and learning not only how to do what you're desire, but the whys and hows of what you're doing. That being said, you will want to go through several of the Java Swing tutorials to learn how to do this including
the CardLayout tutorial to see how to swap JComponents in a GUI.
The JTextField tutorial to see how to interact with JTextFields
The JButton and ActionListener tutorial to see how to interact with JButtons and how to respond to their presses.
Much of learning to code means independent study and much trial and error. So start experimenting and have fun doing so!
As the above answer says, the CardLayout is a one way of doing this. However, in my case, I find that cardlayout is bit difficult for me. So, what I do is, creating JavaBeans, which extends JPanel, in this case. So you can add them to the main view and dispose/replace with another JavaBean, making different "Next" views. This way will help you to seperate your code into several classes, making the code simple too.
This article contains more or less a step-by-step tutorial on how to create a wizard in Swing. But before you start with that article make sure you have some basic Swing knowledge or that article will be complete Gibberish
You can use installation wizard creator tool for make a setup of your java application
for examaple you can use
