public class Window extends Container implements Accessible
Window
object is a top-level window with no borders and no
menubar.
The default layout for a window is BorderLayout
.
A window must have either a frame, dialog, or another window defined as its owner when it's constructed.
In a multi-screen environment, you can create a Window
on a different screen device by constructing the Window
with Window(Window, GraphicsConfiguration)
. The
GraphicsConfiguration
object is one of the
GraphicsConfiguration
objects of the target screen device.
In a virtual device multi-screen environment in which the desktop area could span multiple physical screen devices, the bounds of all configurations are relative to the virtual device coordinate system. The origin of the virtual-coordinate system is at the upper left-hand corner of the primary physical screen. Depending on the location of the primary screen in the virtual device, negative coordinates are possible, as shown in the following figure.
In such an environment, when calling setLocation
,
you must pass a virtual coordinate to this method. Similarly,
calling getLocationOnScreen
on a Window
returns
virtual device coordinates. Call the getBounds
method
of a GraphicsConfiguration
to find its origin in the virtual
coordinate system.
The following code sets the location of a Window
at (10, 10) relative to the origin of the physical screen
of the corresponding GraphicsConfiguration
. If the
bounds of the GraphicsConfiguration
is not taken
into account, the Window
location would be set
at (10, 10) relative to the virtual-coordinate system and would appear
on the primary physical screen, which might be different from the
physical screen of the specified GraphicsConfiguration
.
Window w = new Window(Window owner, GraphicsConfiguration gc); Rectangle bounds = gc.getBounds(); w.setLocation(10 + bounds.x, 10 + bounds.y);
Note: the location and size of top-level windows (including
Window
s, Frame
s, and Dialog
s)
are under the control of the desktop's window management system.
Calls to setLocation
, setSize
, and
setBounds
are requests (not directives) which are
forwarded to the window management system. Every effort will be
made to honor such requests. However, in some cases the window
management system may ignore such requests, or modify the requested
geometry in order to place and size the Window
in a way
that more closely matches the desktop settings.
Due to the asynchronous nature of native event handling, the results
returned by getBounds
, getLocation
,
getLocationOnScreen
, and getSize
might not
reflect the actual geometry of the Window on screen until the last
request has been processed. During the processing of subsequent
requests these values might change accordingly while the window
management system fulfills the requests.
An application may set the size and location of an invisible
Window
arbitrarily, but the window management system may
subsequently change its size and/or location when the
Window
is made visible. One or more ComponentEvent
s
will be generated to indicate the new geometry.
Windows are capable of generating the following WindowEvents: WindowOpened, WindowClosed, WindowGainedFocus, WindowLostFocus.

Method Details
-
getIconImages
Returns the sequence of images to be displayed as the icon for this window.This method returns a copy of the internally stored list, so all operations on the returned object will not affect the window's behavior.
- Returns:
- the copy of icon images' list for this window, or empty list if this window doesn't have icon images.
- Since:
- 1.6
- See Also:
setIconImages(java.util.List<? extends java.awt.Image>)
,setIconImage(Image)
-
setIconImages
Sets the sequence of images to be displayed as the icon for this window. Subsequent calls togetIconImages
will always return a copy of theicons
list.Depending on the platform capabilities one or several images of different dimensions will be used as the window's icon.
The
icons
list can containMultiResolutionImage
images also. Suitable image depending on screen resolution is extracted from baseMultiResolutionImage
image and added to the icons list while base resolution image is removed from list. Theicons
list is scanned for the images of most appropriate dimensions from the beginning. If the list contains several images of the same size, the first will be used.Ownerless windows with no icon specified use platform-default icon. The icon of an owned window may be inherited from the owner unless explicitly overridden. Setting the icon to
null
or empty list restores the default behavior.Note : Native windowing systems may use different images of differing dimensions to represent a window, depending on the context (e.g. window decoration, window list, taskbar, etc.). They could also use just a single image for all contexts or no image at all.
- Parameters:
icons
- the list of icon images to be displayed.- Since:
- 1.6
- See Also:
getIconImages()
,setIconImage(Image)
-
setIconImage
Sets the image to be displayed as the icon for this window.This method can be used instead of
setIconImages()
to specify a single image as a window's icon.The following statement:
setIconImage(image);
is equivalent to:ArrayList<Image> imageList = new ArrayList<Image>(); imageList.add(image); setIconImages(imageList);
Note : Native windowing systems may use different images of differing dimensions to represent a window, depending on the context (e.g. window decoration, window list, taskbar, etc.). They could also use just a single image for all contexts or no image at all.
- Parameters:
image
- the icon image to be displayed.- Since:
- 1.6
- See Also:
setIconImages(java.util.List<? extends java.awt.Image>)

addNotify
public void addNotify()Makes this Window displayable by creating the connection to its native screen resource. This method is called internally by the toolkit and should not be called directly by programs.- Overrides:
addNotify
in classContainer
- Since:
- 1.0
- See Also:
Component.isDisplayable()
,Container.removeNotify()
-
pack
public void pack()Causes this Window to be sized to fit the preferred size and layouts of its subcomponents. The resulting width and height of the window are automatically enlarged if either of dimensions is less than the minimum size as specified by the previous call to thesetMinimumSize
method.If the window and/or its owner are not displayable yet, both of them are made displayable before calculating the preferred size. The Window is validated after its size is being calculated.
-
setMinimumSize
Sets the minimum size of this window to a constant value. Subsequent calls togetMinimumSize
will always return this value. If current window's size is less thanminimumSize
the size of the window is automatically enlarged to honor the minimum size.If the
setSize
orsetBounds
methods are called afterwards with a width or height less than that was specified by thesetMinimumSize
method the window is automatically enlarged to meet theminimumSize
value. TheminimumSize
value also affects the behaviour of thepack
method.The default behavior is restored by setting the minimum size parameter to the
null
value.Resizing operation may be restricted if the user tries to resize window below the
minimumSize
value. This behaviour is platform-dependent.- Overrides:
setMinimumSize

dispose
public void dispose()Releases all of the native screen resources used by thisWindow
, its subcomponents, and all of its owned children. That is, the resources for theseComponent
s will be destroyed, any memory they consume will be returned to the OS, and they will be marked as undisplayable.The
Window
and its subcomponents can be made displayable again by rebuilding the native resources with a subsequent call topack
orshow
. The states of the recreatedWindow
and its subcomponents will be identical to the states of these objects at the point where theWindow
was disposed (not accounting for additional modifications between those actions).Note: When the last displayable window within the Java virtual machine (VM) is disposed of, the VM may terminate. See AWT Threading Issues for more information.

toFront
public void toFront()If this Window is visible, brings this Window to the front and may make it the focused Window.Places this Window at the top of the stacking order and shows it in front of any other Windows in this VM. No action will take place if this Window is not visible. Some platforms do not allow Windows which own other Windows to appear on top of those owned Windows. Some platforms may not permit this VM to place its Windows above windows of native applications, or Windows of other VMs. This permission may depend on whether a Window in this VM is already focused. Every attempt will be made to move this Window as high as possible in the stacking order; however, developers should not assume that this method will move this Window above all other windows in every situation.
Developers must never assume that this Window is the focused or active Window until this Window receives a WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS or WINDOW_ACTIVATED event. On platforms where the top-most window is the focused window, this method will probably focus this Window (if it is not already focused) under the following conditions:
- The window meets the requirements outlined in the
isFocusableWindow()
method. - The window's property
autoRequestFocus
is of thetrue
value. - Native windowing system allows the window to get focused.
If this method causes this Window to be focused, and this Window is a Frame or a Dialog, it will also become activated. If this Window is focused, but it is not a Frame or a Dialog, then the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of this Window will be activated.
If this window is blocked by modal dialog, then the blocking dialog is brought to the front and remains above the blocked window.

toBack
public void toBack()If this Window is visible, sends this Window to the back and may cause it to lose focus or activation if it is the focused or active Window.Places this Window at the bottom of the stacking order and shows it behind any other Windows in this VM. No action will take place is this Window is not visible. Some platforms do not allow Windows which are owned by other Windows to appear below their owners. Every attempt will be made to move this Window as low as possible in the stacking order; however, developers should not assume that this method will move this Window below all other windows in every situation.
Because of variations in native windowing systems, no guarantees about changes to the focused and active Windows can be made. Developers must never assume that this Window is no longer the focused or active Window until this Window receives a WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS or WINDOW_DEACTIVATED event. On platforms where the top-most window is the focused window, this method will probably cause this Window to lose focus. In that case, the next highest, focusable Window in this VM will receive focus. On platforms where the stacking order does not typically affect the focused window, this method will probably leave the focused and active Windows unchanged.

setAlwaysOnTop
Sets whether this window should always be above other windows. If there are multiple always-on-top windows, their relative order is unspecified and platform dependent.If some other window is already always-on-top then the relative order between these windows is unspecified (depends on platform). No window can be brought to be over the always-on-top window except maybe another always-on-top window.
All windows owned by an always-on-top window inherit this state and automatically become always-on-top. If a window ceases to be always-on-top, the windows that it owns will no longer be always-on-top. When an always-on-top window is sent
toBack
, its always-on-top state is set tofalse
.When this method is called on a window with a value of
true
, and the window is visible and the platform supports always-on-top for this window, the window is immediately brought forward, "sticking" it in the top-most position. If the window isn`t currently visible, this method sets the always-on-top state totrue
but does not bring the window forward. When the window is later shown, it will be always-on-top.When this method is called on a window with a value of
false
the always-on-top state is set to normal. It may also cause an unspecified, platform-dependent change in the z-order of top-level windows, but other always-on-top windows will remain in top-most position. Calling this method with a value offalse
on a window that has a normal state has no effect.Note: some platforms might not support always-on-top windows. To detect if always-on-top windows are supported by the current platform, use
Toolkit.isAlwaysOnTopSupported()
andisAlwaysOnTopSupported()
. If always-on-top mode isn't supported for this window or this window's toolkit does not support always-on-top windows, calling this method has no effect.If a SecurityManager is installed, the calling thread must be granted the AWTPermission "setWindowAlwaysOnTop" in order to set the value of this property. If this permission is not granted, this method will throw a SecurityException, and the current value of the property will be left unchanged.
- Parameters:
alwaysOnTop
- true if the window should always be above other windows- Throws:
SecurityException
- if the calling thread does not have permission to set the value of always-on-top property- Since:

isFocusableWindow
public final boolean isFocusableWindow()Returns whether this Window can become the focused Window, that is, whether this Window or any of its subcomponents can become the focus owner. For a Frame or Dialog to be focusable, its focusable Window state must be set totrue
. For a Window which is not a Frame or Dialog to be focusable, its focusable Window state must be set totrue
, its nearest owning Frame or Dialog must be showing on the screen, and it must contain at least one Component in its focus traversal cycle. If any of these conditions is not met, then neither this Window nor any of its subcomponents can become the focus owner.- Returns:

setFocusableWindowState
public void setFocusableWindowState(boolean focusableWindowState)Sets whether this Window can become the focused Window if it meets the other requirements outlined inisFocusableWindow
. If this Window's focusable Window state is set tofalse
, thenisFocusableWindow
will returnfalse
. If this Window's focusable Window state is set totrue
, thenisFocusableWindow
may returntrue
orfalse
depending upon the other requirements which must be met in order for a Window to be focusable.Setting a Window's focusability state to
false
is the standard mechanism for an application to identify to the AWT a Window which will be used as a floating palette or toolbar, and thus should be a non-focusable Window. Setting the focusability state on a visibleWindow
can have a delayed effect on some platforms — the actual change may happen only when theWindow
becomes hidden and then visible again. To ensure consistent behavior across platforms, set theWindow
's focusable state when theWindow
is invisible and then show it.- Parameters:

setLocationRelativeTo
Sets the location of the window relative to the specified component according to the following scenarios.The target screen mentioned below is a screen to which the window should be placed after the setLocationRelativeTo method is called.
- If the component is
null
, or theGraphicsConfiguration
associated with this component isnull
, the window is placed in the center of the screen. The center point can be obtained with theGraphicsEnvironment.getCenterPoint
method. - If the component is not
null
, but it is not currently showing, the window is placed in the center of the target screen defined by theGraphicsConfiguration
associated with this component. - If the component is not
null
and is shown on the screen, then the window is located in such a way that the center of the window coincides with the center of the component.
If the screens configuration does not allow the window to be moved from one screen to another, then the window is only placed at the location determined according to the above conditions and its
GraphicsConfiguration
is not changed.Note: If the lower edge of the window is out of the screen, then the window is placed to the side of the
Component
that is closest to the center of the screen. So if the component is on the right part of the screen, the window is placed to its left, and vice versa.If after the window location has been calculated, the upper, left, or right edge of the window is out of the screen, then the window is located in such a way that the upper, left, or right edge of the window coincides with the corresponding edge of the screen. If both left and right edges of the window are out of the screen, the window is placed at the left side of the screen. The similar placement will occur if both top and bottom edges are out of the screen. In that case, the window is placed at the top side of the screen.
The method changes the geometry-related data. Therefore, the native windowing system may ignore such requests, or it may modify the requested data, so that the
Window
object is placed and sized in a way that corresponds closely to the desktop settings.- Parameters:

createBufferStrategy
public void createBufferStrategy(int numBuffers)Creates a new strategy for multi-buffering on this component. Multi-buffering is useful for rendering performance. This method attempts to create the best strategy available with the number of buffers supplied. It will always create aBufferStrategy
with that number of buffers. A page-flipping strategy is attempted first, then a blitting strategy using accelerated buffers. Finally, an unaccelerated blitting strategy is used.Each time this method is called, the existing buffer strategy for this component is discarded.
- Parameters:
numBuffers
- number of buffers to create- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if numBuffers is less than 1.IllegalStateException
- if the component is not displayable- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
Component.isDisplayable()
,getBufferStrategy()

createBufferStrategy
Creates a new strategy for multi-buffering on this component with the required buffer capabilities. This is useful, for example, if only accelerated memory or page flipping is desired (as specified by the buffer capabilities).Each time this method is called, the existing buffer strategy for this component is discarded.
- Parameters:
numBuffers
- number of buffers to create, including the front buffercaps
- the required capabilities for creating the buffer strategy; cannot benull
- Throws:
AWTException
- if the capabilities supplied could not be supported or met; this may happen, for example, if there is not enough accelerated memory currently available, or if page flipping is specified but not possible.IllegalArgumentException
- if numBuffers is less than 1, or if caps isnull

setLocationByPlatform
public void setLocationByPlatform(boolean locationByPlatform)Sets whether this Window should appear at the default location for the native windowing system or at the current location (returned bygetLocation
) the next time the Window is made visible. This behavior resembles a native window shown without programmatically setting its location. Most windowing systems cascade windows if their locations are not explicitly set. The actual location is determined once the window is shown on the screen.This behavior can also be enabled by setting the System Property "java.awt.Window.locationByPlatform" to "true", though calls to this method take precedence.
Calls to
setVisible
,setLocation
andsetBounds
after callingsetLocationByPlatform
clear this property of the Window.For example, after the following code is executed:
setLocationByPlatform(true); setVisible(true); boolean flag = isLocationByPlatform();
The window will be shown at platform's default location andflag
will befalse
.In the following sample:
setLocationByPlatform(true); setLocation(10, 10); boolean flag = isLocationByPlatform(); setVisible(true);
The window will be shown at (10, 10) andflag
will befalse
.- Parameters:
locationByPlatform
-true
if this Window should appear at the default location,false
if at the current location- Throws:
IllegalComponentStateException

-
setOpacity
public void setOpacity(float opacity)Sets the opacity of the window.The opacity value is in the range [0..1]. Note that setting the opacity level of 0 may or may not disable the mouse event handling on this window. This is a platform-dependent behavior.
The following conditions must be met in order to set the opacity value less than
1.0f
:- The
TRANSLUCENT
translucency must be supported by the underlying system - The window must be undecorated (see
Frame.setUndecorated(boolean)
andDialog.setUndecorated(boolean)
) - The window must not be in full-screen mode (see
GraphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(Window)
)
If the requested opacity value is less than
1.0f
, and any of the above conditions are not met, the window opacity will not change, and theIllegalComponentStateException
will be thrown.The translucency levels of individual pixels may also be effected by the alpha component of their color (see
setBackground(Color)
) and the current shape of this window (seesetShape(Shape)
).- Parameters:
opacity
- the opacity level to set to the window- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the opacity is out of the range [0..1]IllegalComponentStateException
- if the window is decorated and the opacity is less than1.0f
IllegalComponentStateException
- if the window is in full screen mode, and the opacity is less than1.0f

getShape
Returns the shape of the window. The value returned by this method may not be the same as previously set withsetShape(shape)
, but it is guaranteed to represent the same shape.- Returns:
- the shape of the window or
null
if no shape is specified for the window - Since:
- 1.7
- See Also:
setShape(Shape)
,GraphicsDevice.WindowTranslucency
-
setShape
Sets the shape of the window.Setting a shape cuts off some parts of the window. Only the parts that belong to the given
Shape
remain visible and clickable. If the shape argument isnull
, this method restores the default shape, making the window rectangular on most platforms.The following conditions must be met to set a non-null shape:
- The
PERPIXEL_TRANSPARENT
translucency must be supported by the underlying system - The window must be undecorated (see
Frame.setUndecorated(boolean)
andDialog.setUndecorated(boolean)
) - The window must not be in full-screen mode (see
GraphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(Window)
)
If the requested shape is not
null
, and any of the above conditions are not met, the shape of this window will not change, and either theUnsupportedOperationException
orIllegalComponentStateException
will be thrown.The translucency levels of individual pixels may also be effected by the alpha component of their color (see
setBackground(Color)
) and the opacity value (seesetOpacity(float)
). SeeGraphicsDevice.WindowTranslucency
for more details.- Parameters:
shape
- the shape to set to the window- Throws:
IllegalComponentStateException
- if the shape is notnull
and the window is decoratedIllegalComponentStateException
- if the shape is notnull
and the window is in full-screen modeUnsupportedOperationException

- The
-
getBackground
Gets the background color of this window.Note that the alpha component of the returned color indicates whether the window is in the non-opaque (per-pixel translucent) mode.
- Overrides:
getBackground
in classComponent
- Returns:
- this component's background color
- See Also:
setBackground(Color)
,isOpaque()
,GraphicsDevice.WindowTranslucency
-
setBackground
Sets the background color of this window.If the windowing system supports the
PERPIXEL_TRANSLUCENT
translucency, the alpha component of the given background color may effect the mode of operation for this window: it indicates whether this window must be opaque (alpha equals1.0f
) or per-pixel translucent (alpha is less than1.0f
). If the given background color isnull
, the window is considered completely opaque.All the following conditions must be met to enable the per-pixel transparency mode for this window:
- The
PERPIXEL_TRANSLUCENT
translucency must be supported by the graphics device where this window is located - The window must be undecorated (see
Frame.setUndecorated(boolean)
andDialog.setUndecorated(boolean)
) - The window must not be in full-screen mode (see
GraphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(Window)
)
If the alpha component of the requested background color is less than
1.0f
, and any of the above conditions are not met, the background color of this window will not change, the alpha component of the given background color will not affect the mode of operation for this window, and either theUnsupportedOperationException
orIllegalComponentStateException
will be thrown.When the window is per-pixel translucent, the drawing sub-system respects the alpha value of each individual pixel. If a pixel gets painted with the alpha color component equal to zero, it becomes visually transparent. If the alpha of the pixel is equal to 1.0f, the pixel is fully opaque. Interim values of the alpha color component make the pixel semi-transparent. In this mode, the background of the window gets painted with the alpha value of the given background color. If the alpha value of the argument of this method is equal to
0
, the background is not painted at all.The actual level of translucency of a given pixel also depends on window opacity (see
setOpacity(float)
), as well as the current shape of this window (seesetShape(Shape)
).Note that painting a pixel with the alpha value of
0
may or may not disable the mouse event handling on this pixel. This is a platform-dependent behavior. To make sure the mouse events do not get dispatched to a particular pixel, the pixel must be excluded from the shape of the window.Enabling the per-pixel translucency mode may change the graphics configuration of this window due to the native platform requirements.
