public class JInternalFrame
extends JComponent
implements javax.accessibility.Accessible, WindowConstants, RootPaneContainer

A lightweight object that provides many of the features of a native frame, including dragging, closing, becoming an icon, resizing, title display, and support for a menu bar. For task-oriented documentation and examples of using internal frames, see How to Use Internal Frames, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Generally, you add JInternalFrames to a JDesktopPane. The UI delegates the look-and-feel-specific actions to the DesktopManager object maintained by the JDesktopPane.

The JInternalFrame content pane is where you add child components. So, to create a JInternalFrame that has a number of buttons arranged with the content pane's default BorderLayout object, you might do something like this:

    JComponent c = (JComponent) internalFrame.getContentPane();
    c.add(new JButton(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
    c.add(new JButton(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
 
The content pane is actually managed by an instance of JRootPane, which also manages a layout pane, glass pane, and optional menu bar for the internal frame. Please see the JRootPane documentation for a complete description of these components.

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard look and feel renditions, see the JInternalFrame key assignments.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Returns whether this JInternalFrame is currently closed.

Returns:
true if this internal frame is closed, false otherwise

setClosed

public void setClosed(boolean b)
               throws java.beans.PropertyVetoException
Closes this internal frame if the argument is true. Do not invoke this method with a false argument; the result of invoking setClosed(false) is unspecified.

If the internal frame is already closed, this method does nothing and returns immediately. Otherwise, this method begins by firing an INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING event. Then this method sets the closed property to true unless a listener vetoes the property change. This method finishes by making the internal frame invisible and unselected, and then firing an INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSED event.

Note: To reuse an internal frame that has been closed, you must add it to a container (even if you never removed it from its previous container). Typically, this container will be the JDesktopPane that previously contained the internal frame.

Parameters:
b - must be true
Throws:
java.beans.PropertyVetoException - when the attempt to set the property is vetoed by the JInternalFrame
See Also:
isClosed(), setDefaultCloseOperation(int), dispose(), InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING

             throws java.beans.PropertyVetoException
Iconifies or de-iconifies this internal frame, if the look and feel supports iconification. If the internal frame's state changes to iconified, this method fires an INTERNAL_FRAME_ICONIFIED event. If the state changes to de-iconified, an INTERNAL_FRAME_DEICONIFIED event is fired.

Parameters:
b - a boolean, where true means to iconify this internal frame and false means to de-iconify it
Throws:
java.beans.PropertyVetoException - when the attempt to set the property is vetoed by the JInternalFrame
See Also:
InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_ICONIFIED, InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_DEICONIFIED

setSelected

public void setSelected(boolean selected)
                 throws java.beans.PropertyVetoException
Selects or deselects the internal frame if it's showing. A JInternalFrame normally draws its title bar differently if it is the selected frame, which indicates to the user that this internal frame has the focus. When this method changes the state of the internal frame from deselected to selected, it fires an InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_ACTIVATED event. If the change is from selected to deselected, an InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_DEACTIVATED event is fired.

Parameters:
selected - a boolean, where true means this internal frame should become selected (currently active) and false means it should become deselected

the component with focus, or null if no children have focus
Since:
1.3

getMostRecentFocusOwner

public Component getMostRecentFocusOwner()
Returns the child component of this JInternalFrame that will receive the focus when this JInternalFrame is selected. If this JInternalFrame is currently selected, this method returns the same component as the getFocusOwner method. If this JInternalFrame is not selected, then the child component that most recently requested focus will be returned. If no child component has ever requested focus, then this JInternalFrame's initial focusable component is returned. If no such child exists, then this JInternalFrame's default component to focus is returned.

Returns:
the child component that will receive focus when this JInternalFrame is selected
Since:
1.4

doDefaultCloseAction

public void doDefaultCloseAction()
Fires an INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING event and then performs the action specified by the internal frame's default close operation. This method is typically invoked by the look-and-feel-implemented action handler for the internal frame's close button.

Since:
1.3
See Also:
setDefaultCloseOperation(int), InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING

setDefaultCloseOperation

public void setDefaultCloseOperation(int operation)
Sets the operation that will happen by default when the user initiates a "close" on this internal frame. The possible choices are:

DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE
Do nothing. This requires the program to handle the operation in the windowClosing method of a registered InternalFrameListener object.
HIDE_ON_CLOSE
Automatically make the internal frame invisible.
DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE
Automatically dispose of the internal frame.

The default value is DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE. Before performing the specified close operation, the internal frame fires an INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING event.

Parameters:
operation - one of the following constants defined in javax.swing.WindowConstants (an interface implemented by JInternalFrame): DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE, HIDE_ON_CLOSE, or DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE
See Also:
addInternalFrameListener(javax.swing.event.InternalFrameListener), getDefaultCloseOperation(), JComponent.setVisible(boolean), dispose(), InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING

pack

public void pack()
Causes subcomponents of this JInternalFrame to be laid out at their preferred size. Internal frames that are iconized or maximized are first restored and then packed. If the internal frame is unable to be restored its state is not changed and will not be packed.

See Also:
Window.pack()

show

public void show()
If the internal frame is not visible, brings the internal frame to the front, makes it visible, and attempts to select it. The first time the internal frame is made visible, this method also fires an INTERNAL_FRAME_OPENED event. This method does nothing if the internal frame is already visible. Invoking this method has the same result as invoking setVisible(true).

Overrides:
show in class Component
See Also:
moveToFront(), setSelected(boolean), InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_OPENED, JComponent.setVisible(boolean)

hide

public void hide()
Overrides:
hide in class Component

dispose

public void dispose()
Makes this internal frame invisible, unselected, and closed. If the frame is not already closed, this method fires an INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSED event. The results of invoking this method are similar to setClosed(true), but dispose always succeeds in closing the internal frame and does not fire an INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING event.

See Also:
InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSED, JComponent.setVisible(boolean), setSelected(boolean), setClosed(boolean)

toFront

public void toFront()
Brings this internal frame to the front. Places this internal frame at the top of the stacking order and makes the corresponding adjustment to other visible internal frames.

See Also:
Window.toFront(), moveToFront()

Does nothing because JInternalFrames must always be roots of a focus traversal cycle.

Overrides:
setFocusCycleRoot in class Container
Parameters:
focusCycleRoot - this value is ignored
Since:
1.4
See Also:
isFocusCycleRoot(), Container.setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy), Container.getFocusTraversalPolicy()

isFocusCycleRoot

public final boolean isFocusCycleRoot()

Returns:
null
Since:
1.4
See Also:
Container.isFocusCycleRoot()

getWarningString

public final String getWarningString()
Gets the warning string that is displayed with this internal frame. Since an internal frame is always secure (since it's fully contained within a window that might need a warning string) this method always returns null.

Returns:
null
See Also:
Window.getWarningString()
