How to blink jframe title bar?

hi, i have an application i dont know how to blink the title bar of the frame when it is minimized. I hope you can help me. Thanx in advance.

When the frame doesnt have focus
you can use
yourFrame.setVisible(true);
and it will blink similar to the MSN Messenger on the task bar..
It works well on XP, 98 n ME.. I havent tried on 2000 but i use it for the messenger I developed and it works absolutely fine
Hope it helped

Add a Button in JFrame Title Bar

How can I add a button in JFrame Title Bar. I want to put on more button for docking after the closing button in the title bar.

if you use JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true) then you can do it by extending the JRootPaneUI class of the L&F (the default is the metal L&F). that is not a easy task but if you want take a look at BasicRootPaneUI, there you will have to point it to a new TitlePane which you will have to create. to load all this you must use the UIManager class. if you need more explaination try reading on look and feel and customizing it.

How to add a Button in JFrame title Bar ?

Hi Folks,
I want to add a button near to JFrame's Minimize Button(On the title bar). How can i do it ? Should i extend RootPaneUI and add custom button ? Any other easy ways to do this ?
If anyone provides me Sample Code how to do it, It is much Appreciated.
Thanks,

There's no easy way to achieve this. You'll have to provide a RootPaneUI delegate with a custom title pane implementation. There, you'll have to provide a custom layout to position your button. In addition, this approach will not work on look-and-feels that do not support decorated mode (such as Windows or GTK) since under such LAFs the title pane always comes from the OS.

How to see if title bar of Window is selected

In my Java program I have various Window types, such as JFrame and JDialog. How can I recognize if the title bar of the window has been selected?
(Java must recognize when it is selected, because this selection allows you to move the window.)
Please help! Thanks!

BrigitAnanya wrote:
Well, I don't just want to know if the window got the focus, which can also happen when something else inside the window gets selected, not just the title bar.You could add a focus listener in the JFrame or JDialog.
FocusListener focus = new FocusListener(){
       public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
          System.out.println("I got focus");
       public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
          System.out.println("I don't have focus");
};In the future swing related question should be posted in the swing forum.

How to forbid window title bar to be draged?

If a top level vi has the window title bar,how to forbid user to drag the title bar to change window's position?
P.S. vi's property "Allow user to resize window" has been forbidden.
LabVIEW 8.6

Unfortunately, the LabVIEW event structure does not provide an event like "Panel Move" or a similiar stuff.
I think, you have two different options:
a) Either use the event structure -> timeout case to set (if necessary) every Xms with the invoke method "Front Panel.Runtime Position.Custom" the position of the VI.
b) Probably you find an appropriate function in the attached zip file
Thanks,

How to rotate caption (title) bar of CDockablePane

Dear All
Is that possible to rotate caption (title) bar of CDockablePane when it dock.
I mean to say is that possible to put title bar in the left side or right side with rotate text.
if possible could some one tell me how.
Thanks in Advance.

I think it is hard to rotate caption (title) bar of CDockablePane. Create a non-caption dialog and custom a area as the left caption bar. And You need to make the dialog dockable.

How to customize the title bar on my own Look And Feel?

Hi all!
I am creating my own Look and Feel which extends from NimbusLookAndFeel. What I'm doing is overwriting UIDefaults values??, referring to the Painters. For example:
+uiDefault.put ("Button [Enabled]", new ButtonEnabledPainter());+
But now I need is to customize the title bar of the JFrame's, but I do not see this option in Painter's values ??can be overwritten by Nimbus (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/lookandfeel/_nimbusDefaults . html).
You know as possible? I have to overwrite an existing UI component? The idea is I want to make the look and feel like SeaGlass, but the code seems a bit complex to know where to begin.
I hope you can guide me on this issue.
Thank you very much for everything! And excuse my English!.

How to change the title bar wdith , scroll bar widths in tune with a 7" screen

can you please help me customize my user chrome section so that I can REDUCE the WIDTH of the scroll bar ( horizontal and vertical ) . That is , at max the scroll bar can be ___ pixels of __ % of total width. ( prefer the relative reference )
Also the title bar ( that black surrounding area that bears the minimize, maximize,close buttons ) needs its width reduced to half of what it is now. How do I do this ?

No. That doesn't work any more. In current Firefox versions native scroll bars are used and you can't do style those via userChrome.css (user interface; chrome windows) and userContent.css (websites). You can try a large theme if you do not want to make the changes via the Control Panel

Removing JFrame title bar WITHOUT removing window border

I've been searching for a while now, and the only solutions I found were just using
frame.setUndecorated(true);But this also removes the window border, which removes the ability to resize the window.
I need the title bar removed while still retaining the ability to resize the window.
There has got to be some way to do this.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Testing
public void buildGUI()
    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
    JFrame f = new JFrame();
    f.getLayeredPane().remove(f.getLayeredPane().getComponent(1));
    f.setSize(400,300);
    f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    f.setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args)
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        new Testing().buildGUI();
}

How to edit file title bar?

In Frame 7.2, when I open two or more files (stored in a folder several levels below My Documents), the path is long enough in the file title bar that it's difficult to see the file name without dragging the window to the left or shutting down some control boxes stored on the right side.
Is there a way to make Framemaker show only the file name? My alternative is to move all files up a few levels to shorten the path.
Yours,
Michael F
=======

Michael,
This is a known problem. Unless you can live with waiting for the tool tip showing the full path (at least in the most recent versions of FrameMaker), the only option is to modify this property via FDK programming. A friend of mine has a script titled In Window Title, Display File Name Only (to be used with FrameScript) in his free script collection:
http://www.i-frame.itl.info/en/feature-description/free-scripts/in-window-title-display-fi le-name-only.html
If it really bugs you, it might be worth investing the $149 for the FrameScript plug-in to run this (and other useful) scripts.

How do I get TITLE BAR ONLY to display for a window (without minimizing the whole window)?

I want ONLY the title bar to show, then resize to normal then shrink when I ask it to.
JIM

Here is an extension that you can control which toolbars show in '''Full Screen''' mode ("'''F11'''), and in what he calls '''zombie mode''' which I would call '''Full Window''' mode ("'''Shift+F11'''")
This is with Menus showing.
The title bar will show in zombie mode, not in Full Screen mode ("F11")
The change that I make in the options myself is that the tabs bar always shows
I like to see the title bar normally but in either of those two with the tbs bar displayed, I can hover over the active tab to see what the title actually is.v

This also gets rid of the minimize, normalize, and close buttons from the upper right corner of the screen--so have a way to close and resize if you need it.
