Maximizing Internal Frames Posted: Jan 21, 2003 8:09 PM

I have an interface which has a desktop in which an internal frame should show up when a menu event occurs.

the internalFrame is in a seperate class which extends JInternalFrame.

now when it is displayed it should me maximized, so i added setMaximized(true) in the intralFrame class

but it is maximized only when a split pane, which splits the desktopPane and another panel, when the split pane is resized.

when it is resized, the internal frame maximize but unless i resize it manually or by code, it stays small.

i don't have a big problem with moving the split pane a bit up in order for the internal frame to maximize, but is there no other way?

thank,s

Greetings,

I'm brand new to these forums, but I am doing a little work with some JInternalFrames myself, and I have a set-up very similar to yours. I am using a JDesktopPane with menus as my "MainWindowFrame". When a user click the File menu and selects New..., it opens an Internal Frame created by an instance of a separate class file that extends JInternalFrame. To get the JInternalFrame to open maximized, use this method immediately after construction:

try
{
frame.setSelected(true);
frame.setMaximum(true);
}
catch (java.beans.PropertyVetoException e) {}

This will open the Internal Frame in a maximized state. Hope I helped!

James
