| ==== How do I adjust the initial size/position of the main window? |
| |
| The default initial size of an application based on NetBeans platform is 90% of the whole screen area and the main window is also centered. These defaults can be redefined quite easily: |
| |
| * make sure your module has implementation dependency on Core - Windows module, when using NetBeans 6.9 you can use 'weight' attribute instead of implementation dependency. |
| * copy file _WindowManager.wswmgr_ from Core - Windows module into the source folder of your own module (you'll find it in folder _core.windows\src\org\netbeans\core\windows\resources\windowmanager_) |
| * reference the copied file in your module's XML Layer: |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| |
| <folder name="Windows2"> |
| <file name="WindowManager.wswmgr" url="WindowManager.wswmgr"/> |
| </folder> |
| ---- |
| |
| * now you can specify either size relative to the size of the whole screen area (the main window will be centered then) which will work on any screen resolution: |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| |
| <main-window> |
| <joined-properties centered-horizontally="true" centered-vertically="true" |
| relative-width="0.5" relative-height="0.5" /> |
| <separated-properties centered-horizontally="true" relative-y="0.1" |
| relative-width="0.8" relative-height="0.08" /> |
| </main-window> |
| ---- |
| |
| The snippet from _windowmanager.wswmgr_ above makes the default main window size to be half of the whole screen area. |
| |
| * or you can specify exact size and location in pixels: |
| [source,xml] |
| ---- |
| |
| <main-window> |
| <joined-properties x="0" y="0" width="800" height="600" |
| relative-x="0.0" relative-y="0.0" relative-width="0.0" relative-height="0.0" centered-horizontally="false" centered-vertically="false" |
| maximize-if-width-below="0" maximize-if-height-below="0" frame-state="6"/> |
| <separated-properties x="160" y="116" width="1280" height="93" |
| relative-x="0.0" relative-y="0.0" relative-width="0.0" relative-height="0.0" centered-horizontally="false" centered-vertically="false" frame-state="0" /> |
| </main-window> |
| ---- |
| |
| The snippet from _windowmanager.wswmgr_ above opens the main window in the upper left corner of the screen and makes its size 800x600 pixels. |
| |
| * you can safely ignore _separated-properties_ part, those properties were used for SDI mode which is no longer supported. |
| * keep the rest of _windowmanager.wswmgr_ as it was |
| |
| *Note:* This way you can also define the default main window state - maximized/minimized/restored, see link:http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/awt/Frame.html#setExtendedState(int)[JavaDoc] for possible values. |
