Utility classes for managing JInternalFrame?

Thread view:

JBuilder User - 01 Dec 2004 01:27 GMT

What toolkits/utility classes are available for helping manage
JInternalFrames?

For example:

- cascading the JInternalFrames within the MDI

- making the main window's menu bar/toolbar context sensitive to the
current JInternalFrame

- enumerating open JInternalFrames.

Swing's MDI doesn't seem very mature compared to MFC's, or perhaps I'm
unaware of what's available?

I'm using JBuilder.

Thanks!

also, just add InternalFrameListener to every InternalFrame and in
internalFrameActivated(InternalFrameEvent e) set appropriate JToolBar

JDesktopPane#getAllFrames()
