JFrame event order (maximize)

[David Nemeskey]

Hi,

I have a problem regarding the order of JFrame events.

I am using a frame, which can be closed. I want to achieve that on next reopening, it appears in the same place and in the same size as it was before it was closed. So I save its state, location and size.

The problem is the next: if it was maximized when it was closed, how can I save the non-maximized bounds? I managed to do it with the size, but I find it difficult for location. Why? It is because the order I receive the events:
1. Move (ComponentListener.componentMoved)
2. Maximize (WindowStateListener.windowStateChanged)
3. Resize (ComponentListener.componentResized)

So I can check in resize if the frame is maximized, and if not, I do not save the new size. However, move comes before maximize, so that does not work here. Two question comes to mind:
1. Why isn't the maximized event the first ("cause" of the others), or the last (the "consequence")? It doesn't really make sense...
2. Is the above order fixed across platforms, LaFs, etc? Because I can make a solution for this order, but if under say, Linux (the above was observed on Windows), the order is different, I am beat.

Or is there some other way to save the problem?

Thanks,
David
