Netbeans labels not showing

TheServant

I am getting an error which is really strange using NetBeans 6.9:
I have been happily coding and creating forms for a while now, but when I added a button tonight, I noticed that the label did not show when I ran the app. Even when I tried to change the text of the dropdown, in the editor it shows the new default item, but when it is run, it does not. Finally, the button in the top left hand corner, if I change the text, it does not update the button label, but leaves it as the previous one: "Add New Object".

I am hoping this is a simple mistake and you can know what I have done, as posting all the code will be too long.

EDIT :: I have figured out how to get around this, by closing the form from the editor and running Clean and Build and then opening it again. Can anyone explain what the problem is that I have to do that every time I want to change the form appearance?

Alright, the problem is resource mapping. The property files in the .resource package (which Netbeans generates) are only updated when a Clean and Build is run. Have I turned off an auto generate parameter or something? Or is this a bug?

Hi ! I search for an IDE that working in Windows, and knows these functions: A.) Automatic name searching/showing/extending on classes with keypressing (like Netbeans, or Delphi Ctrl+Space). B.) Debugging: breakpoints, step on lines (code), watch variables. Or A and B both.

I've got a form on which there is a picture box with a picture in it. On top of that I place two labels and make their backgrounds transparent. What I expect to see is the picture showing through behind the labels, but what I actually get is the background of the labels painted in the background colour of the form. Can I have "transparent" labels over a picture box? I've done this many times in my VB days and don't see why it should be...

Hi, I have an monitoring application that displays various pieces of data, which are changing, on a tabpage within a form. The data is displayed in various different colours and the various items are shown in different positions on the form. It's a status panel basically. I'm originally used labels to hold all the various bits of text. I don't want to use labels because: (1) I'm using the .Net Compact Framework which only allows...

Hello, I am trying to display, on an MS Access form (frm024), the contents of a table (tbl_TypeOfOrgs). The table has two fields, OrgTypeID and OrgType. It currently has 4 records. This table could expand or shrink. The OrgType field needs to be displayed on a form (frm024, as Labels) along with checkboxs next to them.

Someone with very little computer experience is having problems with the label wizard. She is able to create a new label report, but the result only contains numbers. It is an address database and all fields are text fields. Apparently normal reports (not labels) are just fine. I can't think of any solution. Anyone else having an idea of what could have happened? She doesn't see names, addresses, etc. but just numbers.

I use NetBeans IDE to develop a Java application. In the past, I could use the Design Editor to edit my form for the GUI. Spontaneously, NetBeans is unable to open the form file, producing this pop-up message labled as "Information": "The form file format is not recognized. The form cannot be opened." This error was allegedly fixed in previous versions of NetBeans. I have the latest version of NetBeans and I am getting this error now,...

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
