getState

public int getState()

Gets the state of this frame (obsolete).

In older versions of JDK a frame state could only be NORMAL or ICONIFIED. Since JDK 1.4 set of supported frame states is expanded and frame state is represented as a bitwise mask.

For compatibility with old programs this method still returns Frame.NORMAL and Frame.ICONIFIED but it only reports the iconic state of the frame, other aspects of frame state are not reported by this method.

Specified by:

getState in interface IFrame

Returns:

Frame.NORMAL or Frame.ICONIFIED.

See Also:

IFrame.setState(int)

setState

public void setState(int pState)

Sets the state of this frame (obsolete).

In older versions of JDK a frame state could only be NORMAL or ICONIFIED. Since JDK 1.4 set of supported frame states is expanded and frame state is represented as a bitwise mask.

For compatibility with old programs this method still accepts Frame.NORMAL and Frame.ICONIFIED but it only changes the iconic state of the frame, other aspects of frame state are not affected by this method.

Specified by:

setState in interface IFrame

Parameters:

pState - either Frame.NORMAL or Frame.ICONIFIED.

See Also:

IFrame.getState(), IFrame.setState(int)

isResizable

public boolean isResizable()

Indicates whether this frame is resizable by the user. By default, all frames are initially resizable.

Specified by:

isResizable in interface IFrame

Returns:

true if the user can resize this frame; false otherwise.
