How do I open a JInternalFrame centered in a JDesk

问题:

I am adding a bunch of JInternalFrames into a JDesktopPane, as the user selects to open various features through the menus. But I would like the internal frames to open centered in the desktop pane, as opposed to the upper left, where they seem to default.

How can I specify that the JInternalFrames open centered, or move them to the center after opening?

jDesktopPane.add(jInternalFrame); // jInternalFrame is not centered!

回答1:

For reference, here is the solution I used, based on dogbane's advice:

Dimension desktopSize = desktopPane.getSize();
Dimension jInternalFrameSize = jInternalFrame.getSize();
jInternalFrame.setLocation((desktopSize.width - jInternalFrameSize.width)/2,
    (desktopSize.height- jInternalFrameSize.height)/2);

回答2:

Work out the top-left corner of the new location (based on the size of the JDesktopPane and JInternalFrame) and then call JInternalFrame.setLocation.

If you are using Netbeans (which is recommended for desktop apps) you just need to:

1. Select the form, right click and then properties;
2. Go to code tab;
3. Change "Form size policy" from "Generate Pack()" to "Generate Resize Code";
4. Form Position (option above Form size policy) will be available.

Now you can set the for position as you wish :)

I would suggest the Window.setLocationRelativeTo(Component) method, which will center the window relative to a specified component. Instead of passing in a JDesktopPane, you might want to obtain the parent frame for a component, since otherwise, your JInternalFrame will be centered according to whichever component you pass in.

Here is a code sample:

private void showDialog(Dialog dialogToCenter, Component button) {
    Frame frame = JOptionPane.getFrameForComponent(button);
    dialogToCenter.setLocationRelativeTo(frame);
    dialogToCenter.setVisible(true);
}

Add this void

public void addCentered(Component jif) {        
    desktopPane.add(jif);
    jif.setLocation((desktopPane.getWidth()-jif.getWidth())/2, (desktopPane.getHeight()-jif.getHeight())/2);
    jif.setVisible(true);
}

and when adding the jInternalFrame call:

addCentered(jifName);
