Hi all,

Is it possible to make a JFrame staying on top of every other windows?

You can call the toFront() method found in class Window (JFrame inherits from Frame ,which inherits from Window)

If you are using Windows you can tell the window to stay on top. I think you can only do it in some programs though. "and everything under the sun is in tune

Hi,

The toFront() method just put the window on top, but it does not stay on top if another window get the focus.

It might be possible under Windows to tell a window to stay on top, but I will use another language if it is definitly impossible in Java to do that stuff. --

I don't know what to tell you. As far as I know that is not possible in Java. At

there is some stuff on Java, you might be able to find what you are looking for there. "and everything under the sun is in tune
