public class JDesktopPane extends JLayeredPane implements Accessible
A container used to create a multiple-document interface or a virtual desktop. You createJInternalFrame
objects and add them to theJDesktopPane
.JDesktopPane
extendsJLayeredPane
to manage the potentially overlapping internal frames. It also maintains a reference to an instance ofDesktopManager
that is set by the UI class for the current look and feel (L&F). Note thatJDesktopPane
does not support borders.This class is normally used as the parent of
JInternalFrames
to provide a pluggableDesktopManager
object to theJInternalFrames
. TheinstallUI
of the L&F specific implementation is responsible for setting thedesktopManager
variable appropriately. When the parent of aJInternalFrame
is aJDesktopPane
, it should delegate most of its behavior to thedesktopManager
(closing, resizing, etc).For further documentation and examples see How to Use Internal Frames, a section in The Java Tutorial.
Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.
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 JavaBeans™ has been added to the
java.beans
package. Please seeXMLEncoder

JLayeredPane
remove
public void remove(Component comp)
Removes the specified component from this container. This method also notifies the layout manager to remove the component from this container's layout via theremoveLayoutComponent
method.This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to reflect the changes.
- Overrides:
-
remove
in classContainer
- Parameters:
-
comp
- the component to be removed - See Also:
-
Container.add(java.awt.Component)
,Container.invalidate()
,Container.validate()
,Container.remove(int)
selectFrame
public JInternalFrame selectFrame(boolean forward)
Selects the nextJInternalFrame
in this desktop pane.- Parameters:
-
forward
- a boolean indicating which direction to select in;true
for forward,false
for backward - Returns:
-
the JInternalFrame that was selected or
null
if nothing was selected - Since:
- 1.6
addImpl
protected void addImpl(Component comp, Object constraints, int index)
Adds the specified component to this container at the specified index. This method also notifies the layout manager to add the component to this container's layout using the specified constraints object via theaddLayoutComponent
method.The constraints are defined by the particular layout manager being used. For example, the
BorderLayout
class defines five constraints:BorderLayout.NORTH
,BorderLayout.SOUTH
,BorderLayout.EAST
,BorderLayout.WEST
, andBorderLayout.CENTER
.The
GridBagLayout
class requires aGridBagConstraints
object. Failure to pass the correct type of constraints object results in anIllegalArgumentException
.If the current layout manager implements
LayoutManager2
, thenLayoutManager2.addLayoutComponent(Component,Object)
is invoked on it. If the current layout manager does not implementLayoutManager2
, and constraints is aString
, thenLayoutManager.addLayoutComponent(String,Component)
is invoked on it.If the component is not an ancestor of this container and has a non-null parent, it is removed from its current parent before it is added to this container.
This is the method to override if a program needs to track every add request to a container as all other add methods defer to this one. An overriding method should usually include a call to the superclass's version of the method:
super.addImpl(comp, constraints, index)
This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy. If the container has already been displayed, the hierarchy must be validated thereafter in order to display the added component.
- Overrides:
-
addImpl
in classJLayeredPane
- Parameters:
-
comp
- the component to be added -
constraints
- an object expressing layout constraints for this component -
index
- the position in the container's list at which to insert the component, where-1
means append to the end - Since:
- 1.6
- See Also:
-
Container.add(Component)
,Container.add(Component, int)
,Container.add(Component, java.lang.Object)
,Container.invalidate()
,LayoutManager
,LayoutManager2
remove
public void remove(int index)
Remove the indexed component from this pane. This is the absolute index, ignoring layers.- Overrides:
-
remove
in classJLayeredPane
- Parameters:
-
index
- an int specifying the component to remove - Since:
- 1.6
- See Also:
-
JLayeredPane.getIndexOf(java.awt.Component)
removeAll
public void removeAll()
Removes all the components from this container.- Overrides:
-
removeAll
in classJLayeredPane
- Since:
- 1.6
- See Also:
-
Container.add(java.awt.Component)
,Container.remove(int)
,Container.invalidate()
setComponentZOrder
public void setComponentZOrder(Component comp, int index)
Moves the specified component to the specified z-order index in the container. The z-order determines the order that components are painted; the component with the highest z-order paints first and the component with the lowest z-order paints last. Where components overlap, the component with the lower z-order paints over the component with the higher z-order.If the component is a child of some other container, it is removed from that container before being added to this container. The important difference between this method and
java.awt.Container.add(Component, int)
is that this method doesn't callremoveNotify
on the component while removing it from its previous container unless necessary and when allowed by the underlying native windowing system. This way, if the component has the keyboard focus, it maintains the focus when moved to the new position.This property is guaranteed to apply only to lightweight non-
Container
components.This method changes layout-related information, and therefore, invalidates the component hierarchy.
Note: Not all platforms support changing the z-order of heavyweight components from one container into another without the call to
removeNotify
. There is no way to detect whether a platform supports this, so developers shouldn't make any assumptions.- Overrides:
-
setComponentZOrder
in classContainer
- Parameters:
-
comp
- the component to be moved -
index
- the position in the container's list to insert the component, wheregetComponentCount()
appends to the end - Since:
- 1.6
- See Also:
-
Container.getComponentZOrder(java.awt.Component)
,Container.invalidate()
paramString
protected String paramString()
Returns a string representation of thisJDesktopPane
. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not benull
.- Overrides:
-
paramString
in classJLayeredPane
- Returns:
-
a string representation of this
JDesktopPane
getAccessibleContext
public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
Gets theAccessibleContext
associated with thisJDesktopPane
. For desktop panes, theAccessibleContext
takes the form of anAccessibleJDesktopPane
. A newAccessibleJDesktopPane
instance is created if necessary.- Specified by:
-
getAccessibleContext
in interfaceAccessible
- Overrides:
-
getAccessibleContext
in classJLayeredPane
- Returns:
-
an
AccessibleJDesktopPane
that serves as theAccessibleContext
of thisJDesktopPane
