Trapping events (JDK 1.2)

[brownie124]

Hi,

I want to prevent my window from being iconified. I see that I can set up a window listener and implement the method

windowIconified()

. However, that is after the fact. I want to capture it before it happens and discard or consume the event. Or, better yet, prevent the event from ever being sent to the event queue.

How do I go about this.

Thanks,
- Brownie

Can you use setResizable(false) ?

 

[brownie124]

Tried that. That only prevents you from grabbing the window edge and making it larger or smaller.

A "stupid" solution :

    f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
       public void windowIconified(WindowEvent evt) {
         //System.out.println("Iconified");
         f.setState(Frame.NORMAL);
       }
    });

As of jdk1.4 you could use

f.setUndecorated(true);

(This method can only be called while the frame is not displayable).

Well, the Frame.NORMAL solution would definitely get a laugh. That is actually a good joke to play on somone.

I knew about the 1.4 setUndecorated() method. Believe me, my life would be so much easier if I could use the current version of the JDK.

Thanks.
