To set the layout manager from the GUI Builder:

  1. Right-click the container whose layout you wish to change.
  2. In the contextual menu, choose the desired layout from the Set Layout submenu.

    The IDE applies the specified layout manager to the selected container.

To set the layout manager from the Inspector window:

  1. Right-click the the node for the container whose layout you wish to change.
  2. In the contextual menu, choose the desired layout from the Set Layout submenu.

    The IDE applies the specified layout manager to the selected container.
