I\'d created a JFrame
and want to hide in taskbar
(in windows
not visible right in the bottom but hidden in the tray menu items<
myFrame#getExtendedState and myFrame#setExtendedState
basically is better to multiplay these ExtendedStates
frame.setExtendedState(JFrame.ICONIFIED);
frame.setExtendedState(frame.getExtendedState() | JFrame.ICONIFIED);
frame.setExtendedState(JFrame.NORMAL);
frame.setExtendedState(frame.getExtendedState() & (~JFrame.ICONIFIED));
EDIT 1.
for example
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.*;
public class WindowGCDemo1 {
private javax.swing.Timer timer = null;
private int count = 0;
private JFrame myFrame = new JFrame();
public WindowGCDemo1() {
myFrame = new JFrame();
myFrame.setLocation(150, 150);
myFrame.setSize(200, 400);
myFrame.setVisible(true);
System.out.println(myFrame.getExtendedState());
start();
}
private void start() {
timer = new javax.swing.Timer(1000, updateCol());
timer.start();
}
public Action updateCol() {
return new AbstractAction("Set Delay") {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.stop();
myFrame.setExtendedState(JFrame.ICONIFIED);
System.out.println(myFrame.getExtendedState());
count++;
startAgain();
}
};
}
private void startAgain() {
timer = new javax.swing.Timer(1000, updateColAgain());
timer.start();
}
public Action updateColAgain() {
return new AbstractAction("Set Delay") {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.stop();
myFrame.setExtendedState(JFrame.NORMAL);
System.out.println(myFrame.getExtendedState());
count++;
if (count > 5) {
timer.stop();
stop();
}
start();
}
};
}
private void stop() {
System.out.println("--------------------------------------------");
System.out.println("System Exit");
System.exit(0);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
WindowGCDemo1 windowGCDemo = new WindowGCDemo1();
}
});
}
}
EDIT 2.
for SystemTry you have to set for your JFrame#setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
and in the proper JMenuItem(s) from JPopupMenu, just JFrame#setVisible(true);
