Constructs a new invisible window.

The window is not initially visible. Call the show method to cause the window to become visible.

Parameters:
parent - the main application frame.
See Also:
show, setSize

Methods

 o addNotify
 public void addNotify()
Creates the Window's peer. The peer allows us to modify the appearance of the Window without changing its functionality.

Overrides:
addNotify in class Container
 o pack
 public void pack()
Causes subcomponents of this window to be laid out at their preferred size.

 o show
 public void show()
Shows this window, and brings it to the front.

If this window is not yet visible, show makes it visible. If this window is already visible, then this method brings it to the front.

Overrides:
show in class Component
See Also:
toFront, setVisible
 o dispose
 public void dispose()
Disposes of this window. This method must be called to release the resources that are used for the window.

 o toFront
 public void toFront()
Brings this window to the front. Places this window at the top of the stacking order and shows it in front of any other windows.

See Also:
toBack
 o toBack
 public void toBack()
Sends this window to the back. Places this window at the bottom of the stacking order and makes the corresponding adjustment to other visible windows.

 o getToolkit
 public Toolkit getToolkit()
Returns the toolkit of this frame.

Returns:
the toolkit of this window.
Overrides:
getToolkit in class Component
See Also:
Toolkit, getDefaultToolkit, getToolkit
 o getWarningString
 public final String getWarningString()
Gets the warning string that is displayed with this window. If this window is insecure, the warning string is displayed somewhere in the visible area of the window. A window is insecure if there is a security manager, and the security manager's checkTopLevelWindow method returns false when this window is passed to it as an argument.

If the window is secure, then getWarningString returns null. If the window is insecure, this method checks for the system property awt.appletWarning and returns the string value of that property.

Returns:
the warning string for this window.
See Also:
checkTopLevelWindow
 o getLocale
 public Locale getLocale()
Gets the Locale object that is associated with this window, if the locale has been set. If no locale has been set, then the default locale is returned.
