problem maximizing a frame

Hi
I am trying to maximize a JFrame, but it does not work.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I call this:

Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().isFrameStateSupported(Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH)

and it returns true. So this means it should work.
So now i call this:

this.setExtendedState(Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);

but this does not seem to work. I tried to call it before and after
setVisible(true) and it still won't work.

If anyone knows what the problem is, please let me know.
Thanks.

Works for me in the nearest frame I have to hand
(the Saverbeans ScreensaverFrame).

I'd say it is something in the rest of the code (shrugs)..

You're right!
It actually was in the rest of the code!
There was a setVisible() being called after my setExtendedState call,
and i didn't see that one at the beginning.
Once moved setExtendedState to a place after the last setVisible... it
worked like a charm!

thanks for your help.
