I am writing a small app that requires a ProgressBar to appear centred under the frame's TitleBar as is often seen in Mac OSX apps. I have two problems:
1. I have managed the positioning but I had to hard code the parent Frame's TitleBar height. Is there a 'soft' way to get the TitleBar's height?
In the Dialog's constructor:
Dimension dimensionParentFrame = parent.getSize();
Dimension dimensionDialog = getSize();
int x = parent.getX() + ((dimensionParentFrame.width - dimensionDialog.width)/2);
setLocation(x, parent.getY() + 22); // TODO HARD CODE WARNING TITLE HEIGHT
2. Even though the Dialog is modal, I can still click on the parent Frame and move it. How can I make the Dialog 'stick' to the parent Frame? That is, when the parent Frame is moved the Dialog moves with it as if attached.
Any help/pointers would be much appreciated.
Here is the code:
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class ModalDialogDemoFrame extends JFrame
{
ModalDialogDemoFrame modalDialogDemo;
public ModalDialogDemoFrame()
{
modalDialogDemo = this;
setBounds(100, 100, 400, 400);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JButton buttonDialog = new JButton("Open Dialog");
buttonDialog.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
{
// Create a Modal Dialog with this Frame as Parent.
ModalDialog modalDialog = new ModalDialog(modalDialogDemo, true);
modalDialog.setVisible(true);
}
});
getContentPane().add(buttonDialog, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
/**

public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
ModalDialogDemoFrame window = new ModalDialogDemoFrame();
window.setVisible(true);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
}

public ModalDialog(JFrame parent, boolean modal)
{

Dimension dimensionParentFrame = parent.getSize();
setSize(new Dimension((parent == null) ? 300 : dimensionParentFrame.width / 2, 75));
Dimension dimensionDialog = getSize();
int x = parent.getX() + ((dimensionParentFrame.width - dimensionDialog.width)/2);
setLocation(x, parent.getY() + parent.getInsets().top);
setUndecorated(true);
