NetBeans SingleFrameApplication size and loction

[Saeed Anwar]

How can I fix size and location (center on screen) for a swing application developed using Netbeans 6.1
This is a SingleFrameApplication.

Frame view at runtime is different than that I see in design view.

Thanks a lot for your help.

HI Saeed,

You have to center your JFrame programmatically.
At the end of the JFrame constructor use this code :

  
    Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
    Rectangle frame = getBounds();
    setLocation((screen.width - frame.width)/2, (screen.height - frame.height)/2);

This code uses the java.awt.Toolkit to get the screensize and adjusts the location of the JFrame to align the midpoints of JFrame with screen midpoints.

Hi Vadiraj,
Thanks a lot for the help. Code you provided works fine. However, I found another way as following which does not require any awt components and also provides a way for fixing window size.

   this.getFrame().setResizable(false);
   this.getFrame().pack();
   this.getFrame().setLocationRelativeTo(null);

Thanks a lot for your help.
