Hello all,

can anyone tell me how to make a JFrame fixed, by not allowing user to drag it somewhere else in the window? like doking the JFrame in the screen, also disallow user to resize it.

Thanks.

I think there is nothing such as absolute position of frame. However you can disable resizing by using inherited method setResizable of Frame

Could you have a Window listener that uses setLocation to move it back.

this.setUndecorated(true);

you can do it via this..
Enjoy..

@amit.hak50 you better read original question and not to take very first google result that pop-ups on you. Otherwise you wouldn't suggest method that deals with layout instead of positioning...

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Frame.html#setUndecorated(boolean)

public void setUndecorated(boolean undecorated)

Disables or enables decorations for this frame. This method can only be called while the frame is not displayable.

@peter
I understand the question ..

do
this.setResizable(false);
this.setUndecorated(false);

you can't able to resize it and can able to move it ..i thin now you got it ...

and well ..i don't use google much ..it finishes your intelligency
