custom properties on current class in designer

[JimVanDam]

Been using the BeanInfo support on custom widgets and that works great.
I am growing into a bigger fan of the product every day

I did notice that when I have a JPanel subclass component with custom properties, they will be shown when the component is used on another container, but they are not shown when I load that class in the designer directly (open component design). I guess that is because the class is not instantiated when loaded by designer directly?
Is there a way to show custom properties on the class currently in the designer?

Regards,

Jim

Yes, that is exactly the issue.

We could possibly add editing support for those properties in the future, but you would not be able to see their effect in the design view.
