Add Controls from the Controls Tab

Add controls to the canvas by using drag and drop functionality.

Select the control that you want to add to the canvas from the Controls tab on the left side of the layout editor area and drag it to the drop target on the canvas. A tooltip displays the drop targets as you drag the control around the canvas.

1. Choose the Controls tab.
2. Open the Container section by clicking the arrow to the right of the section title.
3. Select the HBox control and drag it to the canvas. Drop it at the position where you want it to appear.
4. Open the Action section by clicking the arrow to the right of the section title.
5. Select the Button control and drag it to the canvas.
6. Drop the Button control onto the HBox container.
