Method Detail

setApplicationMainFrame

public static void setApplicationMainFrame(javax.swing.JFrame frame)

Sets the main application frame. This is necessary to give new opened windows a reference to the main window (e.g. JOptionPane should achieve a reference)

Parameters:

frame - main application frame

getApplicationMainFrame

public static javax.swing.JFrame getApplicationMainFrame()

Gets the main application frame. Mostly used within JOptionPane.

Returns:

main application frame

getRelativeBounds

public static java.awt.Rectangle getRelativeBounds(int w,
                                                   int h)

Returns a Rectangle-Object which contains the bounds of a newly to open window. This new window will be relative to the main-window positioned.
This method needs the width and height of the new window, that should be opened. Then the positioning values x and y are calculated, so that the new window-bounds lies in the center of then main application frame. So the typical use is:
frame.setBounds(MAUDA.getRelativeBounds(300,100));

Parameters:

w - The width of the new window

h - The height of the new window

Returns:

The Bounds of the new window
