Center jFrame

[xxarmoxx]

How can I center a jFrame on screen when it loads up? Im using netbeans 6.0.

i dont think there is a way
I Use SetLocation method using 2 parameter width & height

I tried this but it didnt work:

this.setLocation(this.WIDTH,this.HEIGHT);

Where should I put the code and what do I need to change in order for it to work?

Thanks for your help

this.setLocation(300,200);

This works pretty sweet:

    public static void centerFrame(JFrame frame) {
        GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
        Point center = ge.getCenterPoint();
        Rectangle bounds = ge.getMaximumWindowBounds();
        int w = Math.max(bounds.width/2, Math.min(frame.getWidth(), bounds.width));
        int h = Math.max(bounds.height/2, Math.min(frame.getHeight(), bounds.height));
        int x = center.x - w/2, y = center.y - h/2;
        frame.setBounds(x, y, w, h);
        if (w == bounds.width && h == bounds.height)
            frame.setExtendedState(Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
        frame.validate();
    }

Yes maybe i always use setLocation Not only for the Frame but all other elements because i use JCreator I can only Code !

Try this code, better performance:

Dimension screenResolution = this.getToolkit().getScreenSize();
this.setLocation((screenResolution.width - this.getWidth()) / 2, (screenResolution.height - this.getHeight()) / 2);
