public class JFrame
extends Frame
implements WindowConstants, Accessible, RootPaneContainer

An extended version of java.awt.Frame that adds support for the JFC/Swing component architecture. You can find task-oriented documentation about using JFrame in The Java Tutorial, in the section How to Make Frames.

The JFrame class is slightly incompatible with Frame. Like all other JFC/Swing top-level containers, a JFrame contains a JRootPane as its only child. The content pane provided by the root pane should, as a rule, contain all the non-menu components displayed by the JFrame. This is different from the AWT Frame case. As a conveniance add and its variants, remove and setLayout have been overridden to forward to the contentPane as necessary. This means you can write:

       frame.add(child);
 
And the child will be added to the contentPane. The content pane will always be non-null. Attempting to set it to null will cause the JFrame to throw an exception. The default content pane will have a BorderLayout manager set on it. Refer to RootPaneContainer for details on adding, removing and setting the LayoutManager of a JFrame.

Unlike a Frame, a JFrame has some notion of how to respond when the user attempts to close the window. The default behavior is to simply hide the JFrame when the user closes the window. To change the default behavior, you invoke the method setDefaultCloseOperation(int). To make the JFrame behave the same as a Frame instance, use setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE).

For more information on content panes and other features that root panes provide, see Using Top-Level Containers in The Java Tutorial.

In a multi-screen environment, you can create a JFrame on a different screen device. See Frame for more information.

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.

Description copied from class: Frame
Sets the image to be displayed in the minimized icon for this frame. Not all platforms support the concept of minimizing a window.

Overrides:
setIconImage in class Frame

public void setContentPane(Container contentPane)
Sets the contentPane property. This method is called by the constructor.

Swing's painting architecture requires an opaque JComponent in the containment hiearchy. This is typically provided by the content pane. If you replace the content pane it is recommended you replace it with an opaque JComponent.

Specified by:
setContentPane in interface RootPaneContainer
Parameters:
contentPane - the contentPane object for this frame
Throws:
IllegalComponentStateException - (a runtime exception) if the content pane parameter is null
See Also:
getContentPane(), RootPaneContainer.setContentPane(java.awt.Container), JRootPane

getLayeredPane

public JLayeredPane getLayeredPane()
Returns the layeredPane object for this frame.

Specified by:
getLayeredPane in interface RootPaneContainer
Returns:
the layeredPane property
See Also:
setLayeredPane(javax.swing.JLayeredPane), RootPaneContainer.getLayeredPane()

setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated

public static void setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(boolean defaultLookAndFeelDecorated)
Provides a hint as to whether or not newly created JFrames should have their Window decorations (such as borders, widgets to close the window, title...) provided by the current look and feel. If defaultLookAndFeelDecorated is true, the current LookAndFeel supports providing window decorations, and the current window manager supports undecorated windows, then newly created JFrames will have their Window decorations provided by the current LookAndFeel. Otherwise, newly created JFrames will have their Window decorations provided by the current window manager.

You can get the same effect on a single JFrame by doing the following:

    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.setUndecorated(true);
    frame.getRootPane().setWindowDecorationStyle(JRootPane.FRAME);
 

Parameters:
defaultLookAndFeelDecorated - A hint as to whether or not current look and feel should provide window decorations
Since:
1.4
See Also:
LookAndFeel.getSupportsWindowDecorations()

isDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated

Returns true if newly created JFrames should have their Window decorations provided by the current look and feel. This is only a hint, as certain look and feels may not support this feature.

Returns:
true if look and feel should provide Window decorations.
Since:
1.4

paramString

protected String paramString()
Returns a string representation of this JFrame. 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 be null.

Overrides:
paramString in class Frame
Returns:
a string representation of this JFrame

getAccessibleContext

public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JFrame. For JFrames, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJFrame. A new AccessibleJFrame instance is created if necessary.

Specified by:
getAccessibleContext in interface Accessible
Overrides:
getAccessibleContext in class Frame
Returns:
an AccessibleJFrame that serves as the AccessibleContext of this JFrame
