Re: Re:MDI - detect iconified frames

Tried it again with your code-snippet, but I didn't manage to determine the iconified Frames with that. So if anybody is interested in the solution, see my previous mail (3:54 PM)   Regards Sybille ----- Original Message ----- From: roberto tancredi To: Sybille Breunig Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 4:52 PM Subject: R: Re:MDI - detect iconified frames Try to cast the internalFrame to Object first...                   Object frame=(Object)internalFrame;          if (frame instanceof JInternalFrame.JDesktopIcon){            } ----- Original Message ----- From: Sybille Breunig To: roberto tancredi Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 4:24 PM Subject: Re: Re:MDI - detect iconified frames it even doesn't work with a single JInternalFrame-Object; I don't know why.   any idea ? ----- Original Message ----- From: roberto tancredi To: Sybille Breunig Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 4:21 PM Subject: R: Re:MDI - detect iconified frames Sorry, you're right! Apart from deprecation, it doesn't compile because my internalFrame object is actually stored into an Object list. Obviously the list contains all the JInternalFrame in the Desktop. My code is something like this:     Object internalFrame=list.get(i);   if ( internalFrame instanceof JInternalFrame.JDesktopIcon ){          ..... }   I need the list to keep reference to the internalFrames for serialization-deserialization and frame drag&drop between desktops.     Thanks for your reply     Regards Roberto       ----- Original Message ----- From: Sybille Breunig To: roberto tancredi Cc: Swing Liste Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 3:54 PM Subject: Re: Re:MDI - detect iconified frames Thanks Roberto,  but in the Spec, they mentioned that this will soon be deprecated. In addtion your code doesn't work - CompilerError; maybe it's because of the inner class.   Tried it with  if (internalFrame.getDesktopIcon() != null)                     // then its minimized but I got a reference to the DesktopIcon in every state of the Internal Frame.   Well, they way I solved the problem yesterday was the following : minimze the internal Frame with setIcon(true) recall them with setIcon(false) then you are able to determine their state by a call to the internalFrame.isIcon().   Works fine for me now.   Greetings Sybille ----- Original Message ----- From: roberto tancredi To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 3:27 PM Subject: Re:MDI - detect iconified frames >Message: 2 >From: "Sybille Breunig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: MDI - detect iconified frames >Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2001 14:03:34 +0100 > >how can I detect whether an JInternal Frame in JDesktopPane is iconified ? >Tried it with JInternalFrames.isIcon(), but it returns always false, even >immediately after a call to iconifyFrame(JInternalFrame). > >Did I miss something ? > >TIA >Sybille Try this:           if ( internalFrame instanceof JInternalFrame.JDesktopIcon ){          .....          .....         } should work.   By
