Thanks for the info! It's what I was looking for a time…And the "easier" way to do it, for me it didn't work like a wanted, sometimes it's better if we do our own classes.

The trick to making the "easier" way work is to override reshape() in JInternalFrame. In your subclass, get the parent (be sure to do a null check!), then you can resize the parent if needed by changing both its preferredSize and its size. I did this and it works. However, resizing the parent from within the child document breaks the natural component hierarchy in a way I don't like. I'd therefore already planned to subclass JDesktopPane in my next version.

So I really appreciate your post, and I think I will try using MDIDesktopPane instead because I'm also not happy with the Default iconization in Swing and was considering writing my own code for that.

dear Shrinath..

thanks for your comment..

I'm aware of this "Easier" way few moments after I wrote this post. As a matter of fact, I used it too in my JInternalFrame. One of the reasons I still use the way above is that the library has WindowMenu class that can control the display of all child windows (cascaded or tiled).

I tried your way after I read your comment. I tried to add JInternalFrame into the JDesktopPane. But the scrolling bar didn't auto expand when I drag the JInternalFrame outside the JDesktopPane. Did it work on you? Would you mind share it with me?

Thank you before..

dude, I respect your knowledge, and its great that you went deep into internet and did some work..

But there is an "Easier" way of doing this in netbeans..

If all you want is a scrollable JDesktopPane in netbeans, here goes how to :

1. create a jscrollpane using gui builder.

2. insert your desktop pane into that scrollpane..

3. clikc on the desktop pane and set the properties – "maximum size", "minimum size", "preferred size" as same.. like if max size you want to set is 1920×1080, then set min size and preferred size also as 1920,1080.

There you are.. immediatly the scrollbar appears and your desktop pane is scrollable..

you can then insert any component to desktop pane.. it holds good..

if you have any internal frames going out , then just increase the preferred size and max size, you'll be good..

you can play with those properties and find out more things..

if anything is wrong in my post, please correct me..
