Description irina narovsky 2000-10-06 22:54:27 UTC 
I've extended my custom property editor from JDialog, because I need IDE to
use my non modal dialog.
When I use Customize Dialog to test my bean, the custom property editor is
successfully invoked when I click the button on the desired property value.
But after I've added my bean to the Component Palette, placed it on the panel
in IDE and opened Properties of MyBean dialog,
my custom property editor is not invoked when I click the button.

The following error is generated in Forte4j error log:
Exception occurred during event dispatching:

However if I derive my property editor from JPanel, it is invoked in the
IDE standard property editor Dialog.
Comment 1 Tomas Pavek 2000-10-19 10:41:59 UTC 
Fixed - if custom editor for property is a standalone window then it is used
directly (standard multi-tab custom editor dialog is not shown).
Comment 2 Marian Mirilovic 2001-01-17 17:04:59 UTC 
verified in [nb31](34), [boston](1160)
Comment 3 Quality Engineering 2003-06-30 18:28:13 UTC 
Resolved for 3.3.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
