Minimizing Jinternal Frame without clicking the bu

Question

Is there any way to minimize/maximize the JinternalFrame without clicking the minimize/maximize button at the top-right corner of the jinternalframe?

I followed this thread programmatically minimize a JInternalFrame?, specifically set

jinterframe.setIcon(false)

But i didn't work.

Thanks.

The method getAllFrames() "Returns iconified frames as well as expanded frames." On Mac OS X, iconified frames may be ignored. The example below demonstrates the anomaly and employs a List<JInternalFrame> to compensate.

import java.beans.PropertyVetoException;

works as I expected, you have to check JInternalFrame#isIconifiable() (eeerght this Veto is really ****)

import java.awt.event.*;

        desktop = new JDesktopPane();
        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);

    }
