Interface DesktopManager

Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultDesktopManager, WindowsDesktopManager
public interface DesktopManager
DesktopManager objects are owned by a JDesktopPane object. They are responsible for implementing L&F specific behaviors for the JDesktopPane. JInternalFrame implementations should delegate specific behaviors to the DesktopManager. For instance, if a JInternalFrame was asked to iconify, it should try: 
    getDesktopPane().getDesktopManager().iconifyFrame(frame);
This delegation allows each L&F to provide custom behaviors for desktop-specific actions. (For example, how and where the internal frame's icon would appear.)

This class provides a policy for the various JInternalFrame methods, it is not meant to be called directly rather the various JInternalFrame methods will call into the DesktopManager.

JDesktopPane, JInternalFrame, JInternalFrame.JDesktopIcon

Method Details

activateFrame

public void activateFrame(JInternalFrame f)
Generally, indicate that this frame has focus. This is usually called after the JInternalFrame's IS_SELECTED_PROPERTY has been set to true.

beginDraggingFrame

public void beginDraggingFrame(JComponent f)
This method is normally called when the user has indicated that they will begin dragging a component around. This method should be called prior to any dragFrame() calls to allow the DesktopManager to prepare any necessary state. Normally f will be a JInternalFrame.
