Show an Animated .gif image

[Jiss Elizabeth]

Hi,

I want to show an animated .gif image while some process is running in background on an internal frame. I tried to add this image in an internal frame and made the frame transparent.
But i cant get rid of the title bar (northpane(null)) as i am using internalframe.pack()

Can anyone help me out with this?

Thank You!

worked OK for me using pack() - no titlebar

This is my code...

     JFrame f = new JFrame();
     ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(ClassLoader.getSystemResource("icons/arrows.gif"));
     JDesktopPane desktop = new JDesktopPane();
     JInternalFrame internalFrame = new JInternalFrame();
     internalFrame.getContentPane().setBackground(new Color(0,0,0,0));
     internalFrame.setVisible( true );
    javax.swing.plaf.InternalFrameUI ifu= internalFrame.getUI();
    ((javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicInternalFrameUI)ifu).setNorthPane(null);
     label.setIcon(icon);
     internalFrame.add(label);
     internalFrame.pack();
     desktop.add(internalFrame);
     f.getContentPane().add(desktop);
     f.setSize(300,300);
     f.setVisible(true);

... Do you have any clue?

thank you!

again, it worked OK for me (java 1.6, windows vista)

just a thought - you're not confusing the border with the titlebar are you
i.e. you want an undecorated internalFrame
