Because of the way JInternalFrames work, you can't call setSelected(true) before the toplevel frame is "realized" and visible on the screen. This means that programs that open internal frames as a part of startup(ie before the main frame is made visible) will end up with no internal frame having its title bar painted to indicate it's "active/selected". There's a JDC bug that was filed, but it was closed as "not a bug": http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4310471.html Does anyone have a reliable way of opening and preselecting an internal frame for the case where it needs to be done prior to the parent frame being made visible?
