Hi,

Can java detemine if a particular window (e.g. JFrame) is visible on the
monitor (i.e. it is not hidden beneath some other programs)? How do you do
it?

Cheers,
Rach.

Do you want to just find out, or make it front?
Window.toFront() makes it top window..

I would have to say 'Why?'

What's the reason you have for wanting to check this? What are you
trying to do?
