Disable user from moving JInternalFrame

Question

Hi
Is there a way the disable the user from being able to move JInternalFrames, I still need the application to be able to resize and position the iframe but not the user.
I have the resizing covered just need to stop the user from mosue dragging.
Thanks
Jamie

The solution in the above post works, does any one know if it will work for all L&Fs?That is why I gave you that solution first. I think it stands a better chance of working in all L&F's. I know the other approach doesn't work in all L&F's because some L&F's already have a custom DesktopManager. Check out this posting:

overriding the DefaultDesktopManger methods seems to have no effect For what its worth, here is my original SSCCE to test this out. My original implementation allowed you to control movement for individual internal frames:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.basic.*;
public class InternalFrameUnMovable2 extends JFrame
     JDesktopPane desktop;
     public InternalFrameUnMovable2()
          desktop = new JDesktopPane();
          desktop.setDesktopManager( new NoDragDesktopManager() );
          getContentPane().add( desktop );
          desktop.add( createInternalFrame(1, Color.RED) );
          desktop.add( createInternalFrame(2, Color.GREEN) );
          desktop.add( createInternalFrame(3, Color.BLUE) );
     private JInternalFrame createInternalFrame(int number, Color background)
          JInternalFrame internal =
               new JInternalFrame( "Frame" + number, true, true, true, true );
          internal.setBackground( background );
          internal.setVisible( true );
          int location = 50 * number;
          internal.setBounds(location, location, 300, 300);
          return internal;
     public static void main(String args[])
          InternalFrameUnMovable2 frame = new InternalFrameUnMovable2();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.setSize(600, 600);
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible(true);
          //  Activate first internal frame
          try
               JInternalFrame[] frames = frame.desktop.getAllFrames();
               frames[0].setSelected(true);
          catch (java.beans.PropertyVetoException e) {}
          //  Make first internal frame unmovable
          JInternalFrame[] frames = frame.desktop.getAllFrames();
          JInternalFrame f = frames[0];
          f.putClientProperty("dragMode", "fixed");
     class NoDragDesktopManager extends DefaultDesktopManager
          public void beginDraggingFrame(JComponent f)
               if (!"fixed".equals(f.getClientProperty("dragMode")))
                    super.beginDraggingFrame(f);
          public void dragFrame(JComponent f, int newX, int newY)
               if (!"fixed".equals(f.getClientProperty("dragMode")))
                    super.dragFrame(f, newX, newY);
          public void endDraggingFrame(JComponent f)
               if (!"fixed".equals(f.getClientProperty("dragMode")))
                    super.endDraggingFrame(f);
}If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)", that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.
