Iconifying and Maximizing a JFrame

This example implements methods to iconify, deiconify, minimize, and maximize a frame. In general, you should not make calls such as JFrame.setExtendedState(Frame.ICONIFIED) since this would destroy the maximized state of the frame. Instead, the Frame.ICONIFIED state should be combined with the current maximized state of the frame.
// This method iconifies a frame; the maximized bits are not affected. public void iconify(JFrame frame) { int state = frame.getExtendedState(); // Set the iconified bit state |= Frame.ICONIFIED; // Iconify the frame frame.setExtendedState(state); } // This method deiconifies a frame; the maximized bits are not affected. public void deiconify(JFrame frame) { int state = frame.getExtendedState(); // Clear the iconified bit state &= ~Frame.ICONIFIED; // Deiconify the frame frame.setExtendedState(state); } // This method minimizes a frame; the iconified bit is not affected public void minimize(JFrame frame) { int state = frame.getExtendedState(); // Clear the maximized bits state &= ~Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH; // Maximize the frame frame.setExtendedState(state); } // This method minimizes a frame; the iconified bit is not affected public void maximize(JFrame frame) { int state = frame.getExtendedState(); // Set the maximized bits state |= Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH; // Maximize the frame frame.setExtendedState(state); }
