How to set AppFrame (JFrame) Properties

[karlomutschler]

Hi all,
I have created an AppFrame (GUI) by using JFrame and following code:

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class SimpleFrame extends JFrame {
public SimpleFrame() {
super("Application Title"
setSize(800, 600);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SimpleFrame sf = new SimpleFrame();
}
}

How do I set the following AppFrame Properties ?
Border Type None Single Double Resize
Initial Size Maximised Normal Iconized

and set the FramePosition (TopLeftCorner) to
X-Pos Center
Y-Pos Center meistertools@gmx.net

Frame Position :
setLocation(200, 200); //roughly centre - change ints to suit!

Initial Size :
default is Frame.NORMAL, but you can use the method :
setState(Frame.NORMAL) //need to import java.awt.Frame

As regards to the Border, I'm not sure whether you can set the border type in a JFrame - if you can I'm not sure how anyway. You could try putting a JPanel inside the JFrame, as its easy to set the border type in a JPanel :

Have a look at the javax.swing.border.* package, but as a guide :
SoftBevelBorder bevel = new SoftBevelBorder(SoftBevelBorder.RAISED);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBorder(bevel);
///other panel methods etc

Then to add your panel to your JFrame :
getContentPane().add(panel);

Hope this helps,

Ben
