Drag and Resize undecorated JFrame
Currently, I am using the following code to drag and move my undecordated JFrames.
private void initialiseGUI(Component component){
//<editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc="code">
component.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
posX = e.getX();
posY = e.getY();
}
});
component.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent evt) {
//sets frame position when mouse dragged
Rectangle rectangle = getBounds();
getGUI().setBounds(evt.getXOnScreen() - posX, evt.getYOnScreen() - posY, rectangle.width, rectangle.height);
}
});
//</editor-fold>
}
What must I write so that the user can resize it like a decorated window, by dragging the side?
Solution 1:
You can check out mr Rob Camick's ComponentResizer class. Pretty simple and straight forward to use.
Just instantiate the ComponentResizer and register the frame with something like:
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
ComponentResizer cr = new ComponentResizer();
cr.registerComponent(frame);
cr.setSnapSize(new Dimension(10, 10));
cr.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(...));
cr.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(...));
Here's a complete example of using the class
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.LineBorder;
public class UndecoratedExample {
private JFrame frame = new JFrame();
class MainPanel extends JPanel {
public MainPanel() {
setBackground(Color.gray);
}
@Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(400, 400);
}
}
class BorderPanel extends JPanel {
private JLabel label;
int pX, pY;
public BorderPanel() {
label = new JLabel(" X ");
label.setOpaque(true);
label.setBackground(Color.RED);
label.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
setBackground(Color.black);
setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT));
add(label);
label.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
}
});
addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me) {
// Get x,y and store them
pX = me.getX();
pY = me.getY();
}
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me) {
frame.setLocation(frame.getLocation().x + me.getX() - pX,
frame.getLocation().y + me.getY() - pY);
}
});
addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionAdapter() {
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me) {
frame.setLocation(frame.getLocation().x + me.getX() - pX,
frame.getLocation().y + me.getY() - pY);
}
});
}
}
class OutsidePanel extends JPanel {
public OutsidePanel() {
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(new MainPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(new BorderPanel(), BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
setBorder(new LineBorder(Color.BLACK, 5));
}
}
private void createAnsShowGui() {
ComponentResizer cr = new ComponentResizer();
cr.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
cr.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(800, 600));
cr.registerComponent(frame);
cr.setSnapSize(new Dimension(10, 10));
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.add(new OutsidePanel());
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new UndecoratedExample().createAnsShowGui();
}
});
}
}
Solution 2:
I have recently built my own prototype for this. Maybe you will find this useful.
It uses 2 different components one on top of the other. Unlike Rob Camick's ComponentResizer on which this is inspired, the mouse listeners set to the components in the JFrame will be functional. You will not get the JFrame to capture all the mouse events making it useless to attach listeners to the components in the JFrame. It captures mouse events only when and where a double headed arrow must be displayed.
The key is this method in the top component:
@Override
public boolean contains(int x, int y) {
return x < insets.left || y < insets.top
|| getHeight() - y < insets.bottom
|| getWidth() - x < insets.right;
}
Here is the code:
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseMotionListener;
public class BackgroundComponentDragger implements MouseMotionListener {
private Component controlledComponent;
/*
* Point where cursor was last clicked.
*/
private Point originPoint;
public BackgroundComponentDragger(Component component) {
this.controlledComponent = component;
}
@Override
public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
Point currentFramePosition = controlledComponent.getLocation();
Point newFramePosition = new Point(currentFramePosition.x + e.getX()
- originPoint.x, currentFramePosition.y + e.getY() - originPoint.y);
controlledComponent.setLocation(newFramePosition);
}
@Override
public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
originPoint = e.getPoint();
}
}

Note: This code sets a null LayoutManager and a listener to the container to resize the inner component when needed. This practice is discouraged. This logic should be moved to a custom layout manager.
