JFrame disable minimize button (jdk1.3)

[Eric Espares]

Hi,

How can I disable the 'MINIMIZE' button of a JFrame in JDK1.3?

Thanks,
Eric

You can't. The only thing you can do is use a JWindow or a JFrame with setUndecorated(true) so that the title bar isn't there at all.

Just tried something else, but it's ugly. In the windowIconified method of the WindowListener you can setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH); Problem with this is it will maximize your app whether you want it to or not but more importantly you will see it minimize then maximize itself. Pretty ugly.

Hello Eric,
for deiconified or iconified u can use the method
frame1.setExtendedState(0) or frame1.setExtendedState(1) along this u has to use
frame1.show() and frame1.toFront();
just simplecode is this
******************
if (frame1.getExtendedState()==1){
frame1.setExtendedState(0);
}
frame1.show();
frame1.toFront();
************
from this code it check if it is iconified it get deconified or do what u need

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for you reply.

How about if I wish to iconify or deiconify two or more windows (all in JFrame) in one time?

Cheers,
Eric
