Creating a Frame of an exact size

Hello all,

I'm creating a simple Frame object by extending it in my own class, and I've set the size using the setSize function, but it turns out the size required by the function has the title bar and border included, does anyone know how to create a window with a client area of, say 500,400? There must be some function the get the sizes of the borders and all, as they can change.

Thanks in advance,

Shel

Code:

---

  import java.awt.*; 
  import javax.swing.*;

  public class Client{
  public static void main(String[] args){ 
   
    JFrame jf = new JFrame();
    jf.setSize(500,400);
    jf.setVisible(true);
    Dimension size = jf.getSize();
    System.out.println(size);
    Insets insets = jf.getInsets();
    int drawwidth = size.width - insets.left - insets.right;
    int drawheight = size.height - insets.top - insets.bottom;
    jf.setSize(drawwidth,drawheight);
    System.out.println(jf.getSize()); // dimensions without insets
   
  }
}

This should work. The insets are just added to the original size of the JFrame.

Code:

---

import java.awt.*; 
 import javax.swing.*;

 public class Client{
  public static void main(String[] args){ 
   
    JFrame jf = new JFrame();
    jf.setSize(500,400);
    jf.setVisible(true);
    Dimension size = jf.getSize();
    System.out.println(size);
    Insets insets = jf.getInsets();
    int insetwidth = insets.left + insets.right;
    int insetheight = insets.top + insets.bottom;
    jf.setSize(500 + insetwidth,400 + insetheight);
    System.out.println(jf.getSize());
  }
}

Thanks! Works like a dream :)

... or simply Extends from JFrame object

Code:

---

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class sample extends JFrame{
    public sample(){
        setSize(500,500);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args){
        new sample().show();
    }
}
