Can you snap a Swing container to minimum size using WindowBuilder? [message #1221064]

Hi all,

The NetBeans GUI Builder has a very handy feature, where you place your components inside a Swing container, then you can snap the container to minimum size in such a way that the container will have just the necessary space to accomodate all the components. I looked around, but couldn't find this feature in WindowBuilder. So, does WindowBuilder offer this? If so, do I have to activate this feature somewhere in my installation? Thanks in advance,

Roger

No, it does not do that. What layout manager are you using?
