You can drag the Standard JavaServer Faces Group Panel component from
the Palette to the Visual Designer to create a panel that groups
other components visually. After you drag the Group Panel to
your page, you can add components by dropping them on the Group
Panel.
The difference between this component and the Group Panel component in the Layout category is that this component does not support the block property. For more information, see Group Panel Component.
If you want more precise control of component placement or you want a container that renders visibly, use the Grid Panel component.
There are a number of ways to position the components in the Group Panel:
When you drag the component over a group panel that already contains a component, there is a blinking caret at the nearest caret position. For example, after dropping a button, if you want to drop another component and you hover over the left half of the button, you see the caret to the left of the button. Otherwise it is on the right side. When you drop the current component, it is positioned at the caret position.
If you drop a component on the Group Panel in the , the component is appended to the other components.
You can select a component under the Group Panel Navigator window and drag it to a new position in the Group Panel.
