You can add components in the Components tab of the Palette. to a page in the Visual Designer. After you add a component, you can view the component in the Visual Designer and the Outline window.
To add new components:
- Open the Visual Designer in Design
mode.
- In the Components tab of the Palette, open the category containing the component you want and select the type of component to add.
For example, to add a button to the page, open the Basic category and drag the Button component
to your page.
- Drag the component from the Palette to the Visual Designer
and drop it.
- Note: To add several components of the same kind to the page, drag the first component from the Palette, right-click it and choose Copy, and then right-click and choose Paste as many times as you like.
- You must add components by dragging them from the Palette or by copying and pasting existing components in the Visual Designer. Do not copy and paste in the JSP code to add components. Doing so adds only the JSP portion of the component and does not add the Java code needed to support the component in the page bean.
