Change which components appear on top in WindowBuilder editor [message #769276] Wed, 21 December 2011 17:50 Go to next message

I have overlapping panels in windowsbuilder pro for eclipse, is there any way to change their ordering without moving them. I just want to be able to edit the controls on the panel underneath. Thanks

If these panels are overlapping, WindowBuilder will show them as such, because we show actual UI.
There are no feature right now to change order of component at design time only, at least for generic container.
We have something like this for JTabbedPane, StackLayout, etc.

So, you can not edit components visually, but you can use components tree to select them and change properties.

If you are using Swing, you should use CardLayout to handle overlapping panels.

For SWT, use StackLayout just as Konstantin suggested.
