How to get a new Frame on the center of the screen?

[Fernando Sanz]

hi guys,
I have a small GUI which will open different frames when you select each item.
What I don't like, is that whenever the program opens a new Frame, it appears in the top left corner of the screen. Is it possible to make it appear in the center of the screen?
Thanks

If you are using a JDK 1.4 or newer, you can just pass null into the setLocationRelativeTo() method and the frame will be centered automatically.

Otherwise, you'll have to use setLocation() or setBounds() and use Toolkit.getScreenSize() to calculate the location to put the frame.

Thanks Nathan, it works perfectly now

Try out this code.
setSize(new Dimension(300,300));
Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
Dimension frameSize = getSize();
if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
{
frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
}
if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
{
frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
}
setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2, (screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);
setSize is of your choice
