swing - How to modify/add code to the initComponents() method in Java using NetBeans?

Question

How to modify/add code to the initComponents() method in Java on NetBeans? When I try to add any line of code this area seems to be like readonly and it's highlighted in gray! It's for security probably, but I suppose there is a way to disable that.

Answer 1

Yes the initComponents method is read only to keep full control for the IDE. You may add yours in the constructor right after initComponents.

public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {

/** Creates new form NewJFrame */
public NewJFrame() {
    initComponents();
    myInitComponents();
}

public void myInitComponents() {
}
