# Customize Code Dialog Box (Swing GUI Builder)

Use to customize the way that code is generated for a component in the GUI Builder and to insert custom code within the GUI Builder's guarded blocks.

In the Initialization Code section of the dialog box, you can type code before and after the generated initialization and creation code.

You can also replace a section of the generated code with your own custom code. Select a custom option from the drop-down list next to the section of code. Then type your custom code in place of the generated code.

In addition, you can set the way the variable is generated for the component.

Note: You can also customize code for specific properties by clicking the ellipsis (...) button in the property sheet for a component. Customizing code this way in the property sheet has the advantage of more closely associating the custom code with the property, which makes the code easier to maintain.
