This gives me hope that my current designer issue may have a way of being resolved.
I have a custom composite (Header.java)
I have an abstract class (Report.java) which contains a field of type Header
I have concrete classes that extend Report and create their instance of the Header field (passing specifics into the constructor -- eg, report name, title, etc)
When I go to designer mode on one of the concrete classes I cannot see the Header component at all (it is in the component tree, but not visible in the designer).
Inside the Header custom composite should I expose all the controls in order to make the "visible" in each concrete class? Right now they are just fields, some are private some public.
I have always used 'nested' custom composites and been able to view them with no problems - I just assumed it had something to do with the abstract class in this case. Finally, not to complicate matters but in this particular case my Reports are using many Form style composites (the kind with twisties and also scrollable). Don't think that should make a difference....
Also, I am on the latest 12.25 release
