DGL support in WB

[Andrei.Pozolotin]

Eric, hello;

I wonder what does it take to add support for DGL - designgridlayout:

to the WB?

is it feasible? are you interested?

thank you;

Andrei

Adding support for any complex layout manager to any GUI builder is a great deal of work.

I had never even heard of DGL until you mentioned it today, and we had not had any prior requests for it (which speaks to its popularity).

While it is certainly feasible (we have added support for even more complex layouts in the past), I would say that we aren't very interested at this point (not until we see a lot more interest).

Note that we added support for both JGoodies FormLayout and MiGLayout due to their popularity, so we are not against the idea in general.

Eric:

got it; thank you for your clarification;

Also, if we ever open up our customization API more, it might be possible for layout manager authors to add support themselves.
