hi all,
When i add a JComponent in a container i need that the setName method of
the JComponent is automatically generated with as argument the member name.

Example:
If i add a JTextField textfield, i need that
textfield.setName("textfield") will generate in getJTextfield method.

Anyone can help me ?
Thanks

Hello,
Since this is not default behavior, you can create your own custom
component (MyJTextField) which does this when dropped. Basically it
would involve having EditPolicies which generate the extra command to
set the name property on MyJTextField. You can use this tutorial as a
reference :
