Use of the method 'getSupportWindowDecorations()'.

Question

Hi,
my application uses a couple of look and feels.
I noticed that the LookAndFeel class has a method called getSupportWindowDecorations(). I want to use this method.
Now the problem is that I cannot get the LookAndFeel object for my look and feels.
I can get all descriptions and classes of my look and feels by executing UIManger.getInstalledLookAndFeels(), but the returned object hereby is a <code>[UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo.html|class in javax.swing][]. </code>This has a couple of methods to return the name and the class, but all in String format.
How can get the LookAndFeel object for my look and feels so I can use the getSupportWindowDecorations() method?

Answer 1

I want to get the LookAndFeel of a look and feel which is not currently being used.Now you say so.import javax.swing.LookAndFeel;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
public class TestLookAndFeel {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo[] infos = UIManager.getInstalledLookAndFeels();
      for (UIManager.LookAndFeelInfo info : infos) {
         try {
            String lafName = info.getClassName();
            Class lafClass = Class.forName(lafName);
            LookAndFeel laf = (LookAndFeel) lafClass.newInstance();
            boolean supports = laf.getSupportsWindowDecorations();
            System.out.println(lafName + " : " + supports);
         } catch (InstantiationException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
         } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
         } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
}There may be a better way of doing this.
