JTextField inactive in a JWindow

[aaronfude]

Hi,

In my working application, I changed from a JFrame to a JWindow and my
JTextField's have ceased to be editable.

How do I fix this?

Thanks!

In my working application,
?

..I changed from a JFrame to a JWindow and my
JTextField's have ceased to be editable.

<sscce>
import javax.swing.*;

public class EditableTextFieldTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
JTextField tf1 = new JTextField("Frame", 20);
JTextField tf2 = new JTextField("Owned Window", 20);
JTextField tf3 = new JTextField("Free Window", 20);

JFrame f = new JFrame(System.getProperty("java.version"));
f.getContentPane().add( tf1 );
f.pack();
f.setLocation(50,50);
f.setVisible(true);

JWindow wO = new JWindow(f);

wO.getContentPane().add( tf2 );
wO.pack();
wO.setLocation(100,100);
wO.setVisible(true);

JWindow wF = new JWindow();

wF.getContentPane().add( tf3 );
wF.pack();
wF.setLocation(150,150);
wF.setVisible(true);
}
}
</sscce>

Thanks, that was very insightful!

It doesn't seem to work unless the JFrame is visible and my whole point
of using a JWindow is not no frame is visible and that there's nothing
on the taskbar.

How can *that* be accomplisher?

Thanks!

No worries..

Well.. fussy, fussy..

<sscce>
import javax.swing.*;

public class EditableTextFieldTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
JTextField tf1 = new JTextField("Frame", 20);
JTextField tf2 = new JTextField("Owned Window", 20);
JTextField tf3 = new JTextField("Free Window", 20);

JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.getContentPane().add( tf1 );
f.pack();
f.setLocation(-100,-100);
f.setVisible(true);

JWindow wO = new JWindow(f);

wO.getContentPane().add( tf2 );
wO.pack();
wO.setLocation(100,100);
wO.setVisible(true);

JWindow wF = new JWindow();

wF.getContentPane().add( tf3 );
wF.pack();
wF.setLocation(150,150);
wF.setVisible(true);
}
}
</sscce>

Thanks, but this will still cause an application button to appear on
the taskbar in Windows. Is it possible to avoid that? Thanks!

Why didn't you specify this requirement in your original posting? We
can't read your mind. Use a JDialog and turn its decoration off.

(FWIW, I did specify in my second post.)
