All Implemented Interfaces:
  Accessible, ImageObserver, MenuContainer, RootPaneContainer, Serializable, WindowConstants

public class JInternalFrame
extends JComponent
implements Accessible, WindowConstants, RootPaneContainer

A lightweight object that provides many of the features of a native frame, including dragging, closing, becoming an icon, resizing, title display, and support for a menu bar. For task-oriented documentation and examples of using internal frames, see How to Use Internal Frames, a section in The Java Tutorial.

Generally, you add `JInternalFrame`s to a `JDesktopPane`. The UI delegates the look-and-feel-specific actions to the `DesktopManager` object maintained by the `JDesktopPane`.

The `JInternalFrame` content pane is where you add child components. So, to create a `JInternalFrame` that has a number of buttons arranged with the content pane's default `BorderLayout` object, you might do something like this:

        JComponent c = (JComponent) internalFrame.getContentPane();
        c.add(new JButton(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
        c.add(new JButton(), BorderLayout.CENTER);

The content pane is actually managed by an instance of `JRootPane`, which also manages a layout pane, glass pane, and optional menu bar for the internal frame. Please see the `JRootPane` documentation for a complete description of these components.

For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard look and feel renditions, see the `JInternalFrame` key assignments.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

### isClosable

    public boolean isClosable()

  Returns whether this `JInternalFrame` can be closed by some user action.

  Returns:
    `true` if this internal frame can be closed

### isClosed

    public boolean isClosed()

  Returns whether this `JInternalFrame` is currently closed.

  Returns:
    `true` if this internal frame is closed, `false` otherwise

### setClosed

    public void setClosed(boolean b)
                   throws PropertyVetoException

  Closes this internal frame if the argument is `true`. Do not invoke this method with a `false` argument; the result of invoking `setClosed(false)` is unspecified.

  If the internal frame is already closed, this method does nothing and returns immediately. Otherwise, this method begins by firing an `INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING` event. Then this method sets the `closed` property to `true` unless a listener vetoes the property change. This method finishes by making the internal frame invisible and unselected, and then firing an `INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSED` event.

  Note: To reuse an internal frame that has been closed, you must add it to a container (even if you never removed it from its previous container). Typically, this container will be the `JDesktopPane` that previously contained the internal frame.

  Parameters:
    `b` - must be `true`
  Throws:
    `PropertyVetoException` - when the attempt to set the property is vetoed by the `JInternalFrame`

### setIconifiable

    public void setIconifiable(boolean b)

  Sets the `iconable` property, which must be `true` for the user to be able to make the `JInternalFrame` an icon. Some look and feels might not implement iconification; they will ignore this property.

  Parameters:
    `b` - a boolean, where `true` means this internal frame can be iconified

### isIconifiable

    public boolean isIconifiable()

  Gets the `iconable` property, which by default is `false`.

  Returns:
    the value of the `iconable` property.
  See Also:
    `setIconifiable(boolean)`

### isIcon

    public boolean isIcon()

  Returns whether the `JInternalFrame` is currently iconified.

                 throws PropertyVetoException

  Iconifies or de-iconifies this internal frame, if the look and feel supports iconification. If the internal frame's state changes to iconified, this method fires an `INTERNAL_FRAME_ICONIFIED` event. If the state changes to de-iconified, an `INTERNAL_FRAME_DEICONIFIED` event is fired.

  Parameters:
    `b` - a boolean, where `true` means to iconify this internal frame and `false` means to de-iconify it
  Throws:
    `PropertyVetoException` - when the attempt to set the property is vetoed by the `JInternalFrame`
  See Also:
    `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_ICONIFIED`, `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_DEICONIFIED`

### setMaximizable

    public void setMaximizable(boolean b)

  Sets the `maximizable` property, which determines whether the `JInternalFrame` can be maximized by some user action. Some look and feels might not support maximizing internal frames; they will ignore this property.

  Parameters:
    `b` - `true` to specify that this internal frame should be maximizable; `false` to specify that it should not be

### isMaximizable

    public boolean isMaximizable()

  Gets the value of the `maximizable` property.

  Returns:
    the value of the `maximizable` property
  See Also:
    `setMaximizable(boolean)`

### isMaximum

    `true` if this internal frame is maximized, `false` otherwise

### setMaximum

    public void setMaximum(boolean b)
                    throws PropertyVetoException

  Maximizes and restores this internal frame. A maximized frame is resized to fully fit the `JDesktopPane` area associated with the `JInternalFrame`. A restored frame's size is set to the `JInternalFrame`'s actual size.

  Parameters:
    `b` - a boolean, where `true` maximizes this internal frame and `false` restores it

### setSelected

    public void setSelected(boolean selected)
                     throws PropertyVetoException

  Selects or deselects the internal frame if it's showing. A `JInternalFrame` normally draws its title bar differently if it is the selected frame, which indicates to the user that this internal frame has the focus. When this method changes the state of the internal frame from deselected to selected, it fires an `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_ACTIVATED` event. If the change is from selected to deselected, an `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_DEACTIVATED` event is fired.

  Parameters:
    `selected` - a boolean, where `true` means this internal frame should become selected (currently active) and `false` means it should become deselected
  Throws:
    `PropertyVetoException` - when the attempt to set the property is vetoed by the `JInternalFrame`

This image is not the `desktopIcon` object, which is the image displayed in the `JDesktop` when this internal frame is iconified. Passing `null` to this function is valid, but the look and feel can choose the appropriate behavior for that situation, such as displaying no icon or a default icon for the look and feel.

  Parameters:
    `icon` - the `Icon` to display in the title bar
  See Also:
    `getFrameIcon()`

  If the `JInternalFrame` is not in maximized state, returns `getBounds()`; otherwise, returns the bounds that the `JInternalFrame` would be restored to.

  Returns:
    a `Rectangle` containing the bounds of this frame when in the normal state
  Since:
    1.3

### setNormalBounds

    public void setNormalBounds(Rectangle r)

  Sets the normal bounds for this internal frame, the bounds that this internal frame would be restored to from its maximized state. This method is intended for use only by desktop managers.

### getMostRecentFocusOwner

    public Component getMostRecentFocusOwner()

  Returns the child component of this `JInternalFrame` that will receive the focus when this `JInternalFrame` is selected. If this `JInternalFrame` is currently selected, this method returns the same component as the `getFocusOwner` method. If this `JInternalFrame` is not selected, then the child component that most recently requested focus will be returned. If no child component has ever requested focus, then this `JInternalFrame`'s initial focusable component is returned. If no such child exists, then this `JInternalFrame`'s default component to focus is returned.

    1.4
  See Also:
    `addInternalFrameListener(javax.swing.event.InternalFrameListener)`

### fireInternalFrameEvent

    protected void fireInternalFrameEvent(int id)

  Fires an internal frame event.

  Parameters:
    `id` - the type of the event being fired; one of the following:

    - `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING`
    - `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSED`
    - `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_ICONIFIED`
    - `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_DEICONIFIED`
    - `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_ACTIVATED`
    - `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_DEACTIVATED`
    If the event type is not one of the above, nothing happens.

### doDefaultCloseAction

    public void doDefaultCloseAction()

  Fires an `INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING` event and then performs the action specified by the internal frame's default close operation. This method is typically invoked by the look-and-feel-implemented action handler for the internal frame's close button.

  Since:
    1.3
  See Also:
    `setDefaultCloseOperation(int)`, `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING`

### setDefaultCloseOperation

    public void setDefaultCloseOperation(int operation)

  Sets the operation that will happen by default when the user initiates a "close" on this internal frame. The possible choices are:

  `DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE`
    Do nothing. This requires the program to handle the operation in the `windowClosing` method of a registered `InternalFrameListener` object.
  `HIDE_ON_CLOSE`
    Automatically make the internal frame invisible.
  `DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE`
    Automatically dispose of the internal frame.

  The default value is `DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE`. Before performing the specified close operation, the internal frame fires an `INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING` event.

  Parameters:
    `operation` - one of the following constants defined in `javax.swing.WindowConstants` (an interface implemented by `JInternalFrame`): `DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE`, `HIDE_ON_CLOSE`, or `DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE`
  See Also:
    `addInternalFrameListener(javax.swing.event.InternalFrameListener)`, `getDefaultCloseOperation()`, `JComponent.setVisible(boolean)`, `dispose()`, `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING`

### getDefaultCloseOperation

    public int getDefaultCloseOperation()

  Returns the default operation that occurs when the user initiates a "close" on this internal frame.

  Returns:
    the operation that will occur when the user closes the internal frame
  See Also:
    `setDefaultCloseOperation(int)`

### pack

    public void pack()

  Causes subcomponents of this `JInternalFrame` to be laid out at their preferred size. Internal frames that are iconized or maximized are first restored and then packed. If the internal frame is unable to be restored its state is not changed and will not be packed.

  See Also:
    `Window.pack()`

### show

    public void show()

  If the internal frame is not visible, brings the internal frame to the front, makes it visible, and attempts to select it. The first time the internal frame is made visible, this method also fires an `INTERNAL_FRAME_OPENED` event. This method does nothing if the internal frame is already visible. Invoking this method has the same result as invoking `setVisible(true)`.

  Overrides:
    `show` in class `Component`
  See Also:
    `moveToFront()`, `setSelected(boolean)`, `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_OPENED`, `JComponent.setVisible(boolean)`

### hide

    public void hide()

  Overrides:
    `hide` in class `Component`

### dispose

    public void dispose()

  Makes this internal frame invisible, unselected, and closed. If the frame is not already closed, this method fires an `INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSED` event. The results of invoking this method are similar to `setClosed(true)`, but `dispose` always succeeds in closing the internal frame and does not fire an `INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSING` event.

  See Also:
    `InternalFrameEvent.INTERNAL_FRAME_CLOSED`, `JComponent.setVisible(boolean)`, `setSelected(boolean)`, `setClosed(boolean)`

### toFront

    public void toFront()

  Brings this internal frame to the front. Places this internal frame at the top of the stacking order and makes the corresponding adjustment to other visible internal frames.

  See Also:
    `Window.toFront()`, `moveToFront()`

### toBack

    public void toBack()

  Sends this internal frame to the back. Places this internal frame at the bottom of the stacking order and makes the corresponding adjustment to other visible internal frames.

  See Also:
    `Window.toBack()`, `moveToBack()`

### setFocusCycleRoot

    public final void setFocusCycleRoot(boolean focusCycleRoot)

  Does nothing because `JInternalFrame`s must always be roots of a focus traversal cycle.

  Overrides:
    `setFocusCycleRoot` in class `Container`
  Parameters:
    `focusCycleRoot` - this value is ignored
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `isFocusCycleRoot()`, `Container.setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy)`, `Container.getFocusTraversalPolicy()`

### isFocusCycleRoot

    public final boolean isFocusCycleRoot()

  Always returns `true` because all `JInternalFrame`s must be roots of a focus traversal cycle.

  Overrides:
    `isFocusCycleRoot` in class `Container`
  Returns:
    `true`
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `setFocusCycleRoot(boolean)`, `Container.setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy)`, `Container.getFocusTraversalPolicy()`

### getFocusCycleRootAncestor

    public final Container getFocusCycleRootAncestor()

  Always returns `null` because `JInternalFrame`s must always be roots of a focus traversal cycle.

  Overrides:
    `getFocusCycleRootAncestor` in class `Component`
  Returns:
    `null`
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `Container.isFocusCycleRoot()`

### getWarningString

    public final String getWarningString()

  Gets the warning string that is displayed with this internal frame. Since an internal frame is always secure (since it's fully contained within a window that might need a warning string) this method always returns `null`.

  Returns:
    `null`
  See Also:
    `Window.getWarningString()`

### paramString

    protected String paramString()

  Returns a string representation of this `JInternalFrame`. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the content and format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be `null`.

  Overrides:
    `paramString` in class `JComponent`
  Returns:
    a string representation of this `JInternalFrame`

### paintComponent

    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)

  Overridden to allow optimized painting when the internal frame is being dragged.

  Overrides:
    `paintComponent` in class `JComponent`
  Parameters:
    `g` - the `Graphics` object to protect
  See Also:
    `JComponent.paint(java.awt.Graphics)`, `ComponentUI`

### getAccessibleContext

    public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()

  Gets the `AccessibleContext` associated with this `JInternalFrame`. For internal frames, the `AccessibleContext` takes the form of an `AccessibleJInternalFrame` object. A new `AccessibleJInternalFrame` instance is created if necessary.

  Specified by:
    `getAccessibleContext` in interface `Accessible`
  Overrides:
    `getAccessibleContext` in class `JComponent`
  Returns:
    an `AccessibleJInternalFrame` that serves as the `AccessibleContext` of this `JInternalFrame`
