A DesktopPane and Interna

Show all headers | View raw

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Greetings,

        I say discussion because the answer to no single question is likely 
to cover the troubles I'm having.  Though I know ambiguity is frowned upon 
on programming newsgroups, I beg the patience of the members here and hope 
to initiate a useful discussion of MDI apps in java... and swing in 
particular.

I observe that I am able to add a jPanel to a jDesktopPane, but not a 
jFrame.  Why not?

I wanted to set the "undecorated" property in my jInternalFrame to TRUE, but 
alas, there is no such property displayed by a jInternalFrame.   I'm looking 
for suggestions on rolling my own windows to use inside of a jDesktopPane 
that would allow me to expose more functionality.  I've searched the 
internet for tutorials on MDI java apps and mostly they stop at reitterating 
the same basic jDesktopPane / jInternalFrame tutorial where you pop a few 
windows up inside of a DesktopPane.

I want to impliment a basic pluggable architecture based on using 
InternalFrames but I want my mainapp to display and handle a certain amount 
of functionality while interacting with these plugins based on 
InternalFrames.  Could I just as easily (probably more easily) use the 
DesktopPane to host jPanels in it's client area within the mainapp, or is 
there some reason that they are not suitable for such purposes...hence the 
need for jInternalFrames.

Any more indepth tutorials out there on java MDI that someone would be 
willing to share?

Thanks,
Mark
