JInternalFrame not showing... 1

[drkhelmt]

I've been struggling with getting my internal frames to show and found the problem to be bigger than my code. Any ideas on what the problem really is is appreciated.

My code has one class for the JFrame with a JDesktopPane (desk). This class appears and seems to work fine. I have another class for a JInternalFrame. This class never appears as in the JDesktopPane, however if I change it to a simple JFrame it appears and works fine.

I've tried sending the JInternalFrame class the desktop, I've tried desk.add() in the JFrame class. I've tried deleting the JInternalFrame class and just adding the data as a new method in the JFrame class.... nothing seemed to work.

So I tried compiling the MyInterlaFrameDemo.java file from sun.com and was rather suprised that the internalframes never showed. I believe I have the latest and greatest Java version downloaded.

What might be the problem?

For JInternalFrame, you still need to call setVisible method.

jDeskTopPane.add(someJInternalFrame);
someJInternalFrame.setVisible(true);

Hey wangdong,

Thanks for the post. Is setVisible(true) the same function as show()? I know I tried show() but not sure if I tried setVisible(true). Also, why wouldn't the demo from Sun work?

Thanks

I am not sure about the demo from SUN. But if you want, I can give you a demo, which I have done it a few days ago and it works perfect.

Hey,

A working demo would be awesome! Does it have the JInternalFrames in a separate class?

Thanks again!

Here is a sample.

After finished downloading, you can double click on the file to run the demo.
