Bringing a JInternalFrame to front

[gommo]

I have several JInternal Frames in a larger JFrame window and am implementing a window menu in the menubar. However, I have failed to work out how to bring a chosen window to the front??? Anyhelp

This is how i do it. Where index is the index of the frame to select.

JInternalFrame[] allFrames = desktop.getAllFrames();
desktop.getDesktopManager().activateFrame(allFrames[index]);
		
try{allFrames[index].setSelected(true);}
catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e.getMessage());}

I've actually created an MDIDesktopManager class which has a createWindowMenu() method which returns the menu. It then deals with changes in the desktop pane and also deals with Tiling and cascading.

I can post it if you want.

I wouldnt mind if you'd post it If it isn't a problem.

I've written the cascading and tiling etc.. Just was having problems getting the top window to focus

[Mrs Kensington]

Here you go...

Just add it to your desktop pane as a DesktopManager


Stupid forum doesn't allow me uploading a .java file (tho it allows .cpp) so it's been zipped

Thanks for that.
I got it working already but I'll check out your source anyway.
