Alternate values are disabled by defaut ("Null value" and "Incomplete path" checboxes are not checked), but value fields are not grey. After two clicks on that checkboxes color of text and 3dot button is ok. First checbox click removes 1pixel border around text field, white text fields without border looks strange. Issues with setting alternate values by types .... Font ----- Unable to write font name directly Exception on "..."button SEVERE [global] java.lang.AssertionError: Object java.lang.Object@46933 is instanceof Font or null at org.netbeans.beaninfo.editors.FontEditor.setValue(FontEditor.java:99) at org.netbeans.modules.form.editors2.FontEditor.setValueToDelegate(FontEditor.java:76) at org.netbeans.modules.form.ResourceWrapperEditor.setValue(ResourceWrapperEditor.java:100) at org.netbeans.modules.form.ResourceWrapperEditor.stateChanged(ResourceWrapperEditor.java:223) at org.netbeans.modules.swingapp.ResourcePanelImpl.fireChange(ResourcePanelImpl.java:381) at org.netbeans.modules.swingapp.ResourcePanelImpl.init(ResourcePanelImpl.java:99) at org.netbeans.modules.form.ResourceWrapperEditor.getCustomEditor(ResourceWrapperEditor.java:164) at org.netbeans.modules.form.FormPropertyEditor.getCustomEditor(FormPropertyEditor.java:262) Color ----- After selecting name of color in list, there should be colored sample box, not after component focus lost. The same issue for manual RGB value editing. After setting Custom code "Color.BLACK" and closing of custom editor, there is no change in color text field, there should be a text "<Custom Code>". Reopen of Binding editor helps. Text "<Custom Code>" disappers after mouse click, click should invoke Custom Code editor popup. Component --------- While setting Component type property, list boxes are filled with component names. After click on 3dot button it should be focused on "Value from existing component" on "Componet" selection, it shows source of values in list. Action ------ In list of actions there is "null" value, in popuped Action Editor there is a "< NONE >" value. "Incomplete path" list contains a few actions, invoked Action editor via 3dot button is focused on different class and list of actions is empty. 3dot button for "Null value" list opens Action editor correctly. After list action change in invoked Action editor there are no changes in Basic tab in Action Editor. Boolean ------- It is impossible to change value of checkbox in both alternate value fields.
Will try to fix/improve when we switch to trunk.
> Component > --------- > While setting Component type property, list boxes are filled with component > names. After click on 3dot button it should be focused on "Value from existing > component" on "Componet" selection, it shows source of values in list. I agree that it would make sense to focus on "Value from existing component" in this case, but the current behaviour is as designed. The combobox that you can see before invoking '...' button is provided by Component chooser property editor. Hence, it is correct that "Component chooser" editor is selected when '...' button is pressed.
> Boolean > ------- > It is impossible to change value of checkbox in both alternate value fields. This was a problem in openide. This was already fixed.
> Font > ----- > Unable to write font name directly > Exception on "..."button The exception is no longer thrown.
The most serious problems from this issue were fixed. The other problems are minor: Color - repainting problems Action - weird use-case, it is hard to imagine that someone would bound action property Hence, lowering priority.
