Java SE 6
  
Implements: DesktopManager, Serializable

This is an implementation of the DesktopManager. It currently implements the basic behaviors for managing JInternalFrames in an arbitrary parent. JInternalFrames that are not children of a JDesktop will use this component to handle their desktop-like actions.

This class provides a policy for the various JInternalFrame methods, it is not meant to be called directly rather the various JInternalFrame methods will call into the DesktopManager.

Constructors
public DefaultDesktopManager()

Methods
public void activateFrame(JInternalFrame f)
This will activate f moving it to the front. It will set the current active frame's (if any) IS_SELECTED_PROPERTY to false. There can be only one active frame across all Layers.
fthe JInternalFrame to be activated
public void beginDraggingFrame(JComponent f)
public void beginResizingFrame(JComponent f, int direction)
public void closeFrame(JInternalFrame f)
Removes the frame, and, if necessary, the desktopIcon, from its parent.
fthe JInternalFrame to be removed
public void deactivateFrame(JInternalFrame f)
public void deiconifyFrame(JInternalFrame f)
Removes the desktopIcon from its parent and adds its frame to the parent.
fthe JInternalFrame to be de-iconified
public void dragFrame(JComponent f, int newX, int newY)
Moves the visible location of the frame being dragged to the location specified. The means by which this occurs can vary depending on the dragging algorithm being used. The actual logical location of the frame might not change until endDraggingFrame is called.
public void endDraggingFrame(JComponent f)
public void endResizingFrame(JComponent f)
public void iconifyFrame(JInternalFrame f)
Removes the frame from its parent and adds its desktopIcon to the parent.
fthe JInternalFrame to be iconified
public void maximizeFrame(JInternalFrame f)
Resizes the frame to fill its parents bounds.
fthe frame to be resized
public void minimizeFrame(JInternalFrame f)
Restores the frame back to its size and position prior to a maximizeFrame call.
fthe JInternalFrame to be restored
public void openFrame(JInternalFrame f)
Normally this method will not be called. If it is, it try to determine the appropriate parent from the desktopIcon of the frame. Will remove the desktopIcon from its parent if it successfully adds the frame.
protected void removeIconFor(JInternalFrame f)
Convenience method to remove the desktopIcon of f is necessary.
public void resizeFrame(JComponent f, int newX, int newY, int newWidth, int newHeight)
Calls setBoundsForFrame with the new values.
fthe component to be resized
newXthe new x-coordinate
newYthe new y-coordinate
newWidththe new width
newHeightthe new height
protected boolean wasIcon(JInternalFrame f)
Returns true if the component has been iconized and the bounds of the desktopIcon are valid, otherwise returns false.
fthe JInternalFrame of interest
returntrue if the component has been iconized; otherwise returns false

Properties
public void setBoundsForFrame(JComponent f, int newX, int newY, int newWidth, int newHeight)
This moves the JComponent and repaints the damaged areas.
protected Rectangle getBoundsForIconOf(JInternalFrame f)
The iconifyFrame() code calls this to determine the proper bounds for the desktopIcon.
protected void setPreviousBounds(JInternalFrame f, Rectangle r)
Stores the bounds of the component just before a maximize call.
fthe component about to be resized
rthe normal bounds to be saved away
protected Rectangle getPreviousBounds(JInternalFrame f)
Gets the normal bounds of the component prior to the component being maximized.
fthe JInternalFrame of interest
returnthe normal bounds of the component
protected void setWasIcon(JInternalFrame f, Boolean value)
Sets that the component has been iconized and the bounds of the desktopIcon are valid.
