JFrame Customization - java

How to add some JtextField in title bar of JFrame..?
Or if I want to add some components in Title bar of Jframe
Like there are tabs in Firefox
( although i know firefox is not made up in java competely )


You can call setUndecorated(true) on JFrames. Then you can implement your own titlebar which can be e.g. a tab bar like in Firefox or Chrome. But you need to take care for widgets for closing, moving, minimizing the window.


When declaring your JFrame where I have "Test" put what you want the title of your JFrame to be.
Window = new JFrame("Test");

Netbeans login form using JFRAME

I want to show a login page in netbeans using Jframe . So i have done a login form in that. but i want to cancel the maximize button which showing in the run time upper side between of the minimize and closing button (in all windows page). is it possible?

There are two ways that you can approach this.
a) make the JFrame not resizable. This will not remove the maximize button but instead it will disable it.
JFrame theFrame = new JFrame();
theFrame.setSize(300,300);
theFrame.setResizable(false);
theFrame.setVisible(true);
b) Use a JDialog instead.
Hope this answers your question

Change JFrame Window buttons

I've created a normal window with 3 buttons (minimize,maximize,close)
But i want to change the Window bar to containe the title and the close button only
I did it before with one line but i forget how to make it
This is my code :
frame.setSize(60, 500);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLocation(10,10);
frame.setResizable(false);
frame.setVisible(true);

I did it before with one line but i forget how to make it
I don't think you did it before because Swing doesn't support this on a JFrame.
Maybe you used a JDialog before? This is the behaviour of a dialog.
However a JDialog should generally only be used as a popup window of a main JFrame. A JDialog does not appear in the task bar and if the dialog loses focus it is not easy to get back unless you tab through all the open windows.

Java AWT: Remove frame title bar and add customised title Bar

I am new to AWT and was wondering how to remove the title bar that comes up when we open a frame and add customised title bar.
Though I was able to remove Tiltle Bar using setUndecorated(true) but not getting a idea how to add a Custom Title bar with just a ICON and Close Operartion. Also I need to color the Title Bar with a specific color.
P.S : Cannot use Swing
Thanks in Advance !!!

You have 2 possibilities.
Use java.awt.Window instead of Frame.
Use JFrame and call frame.setUndecorated(true);

Question about JFrames

I am running Windows. When you run an application on Windows, you get a button task bar where you can click it to maximize and minimize it. Is it possible to create a JFrame without this or some other component that has the functionality of a JFrame but without adding it to the task bar.

Use a JDialog instead of a JFrame. On a JDialog, you can set the 'modal' property, which means no 'upper bar' or anything is displayed.
Do make sure the JDialog has no parent frame or anything though: a modal JDialog will block the GUI of any parent GUI component. But if you just use it as your main component there is no problem :)

Removing a Frame's title bar keeping the resize mechanims - Java

My problem is related with what Jonas asked on the next topics:
How to add support for resizing when using an undecorated JFrame?
How can I customize the title bar on JFrame?
I want to create a custom window without the native title bar. This can be done by calling:
setUndecorated(true);
However, this also removes the re-size mechanism. So now I am using the next code:
public UndecoratedFrame() {
this.getRootPane().setWindowDecorationStyle(JRootPane.FRAME);
menu.add(item);
menuBar.add(menu);
this.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
this.setUndecorated(true);
this.getRootPane().setBorder(border);
this.setSize(400,340);
this.setVisible(true);
}
This returns a window like this:
http://www.roseindia.net/java/example/java/swing/CreateJList.shtml
(Consider only the title bar and borders)
How can I remove the top title bar without removing the re-size decorator? Or should I customize the default title bar? How can I do this by a simple way?
The idea is to end with a frame only with its borders (and the re-size working..). Then, I can create a custom title bar with a JPanel and buttons triggering the close, minimization, etc. OS events.
Thanks in advance for your support.

You need to implement your own mouse listeners and interpret the mouse gestures, programmatically resizing the window.
Another option is to use JIDE Common Layer - it provides multiple implementations of its ResizableSupport interface, including ResizableFrame which does what you describe.
