All Implemented Interfaces:
LayoutManager, LayoutManager2, Serializable
public class Form extends com.HawkinsSoftware.FormLayout implements LayoutManager2, Serializable
This class extends FormLayout from HawkinsSoftware. It allows you to layout compoents in a "label/field" layout, but it allows you to use any component for the label/field. Components are added to a specified row and column and can span multiple rows. It uses FormConstraints to specify how the compoents are to be laid out.
