The default layout for a window is BorderLayout (II-§1.1).

Constructs a new invisible window

The window behaves as a modal dialog in that it will block input to other application windows when shown.

Use the show method (II-§1.42.7) to cause the window to become visible.

Parameters:

parent - the main application frame

This method calls the createWindow method (II-§1.41.21) of this object's toolkit (II-§1.10.20) in order to create a WindowPeer (II-§3.22) for this window. This peer allows the application to change the look of a window without changing its functionality.

Most applications do not call this method directly.

Overrides:

addNotify in class Container (II-§1.11.4).

Disposes of this window and any resources used by this window.

Determines the toolkit of this window.

The implementation of getToolkit in class Window returns the default toolkit (II-§1.41.23). However subclasses of Window can override this method in order to create their own toolkits.

Returns:

the toolkit of this window. .

Overrides:

getToolkit in class Component (II-§1.10.20).

Returns the warning string that is displayed with this window. If this window is insecure, the warning string is displayed somewhere in the visible area of the window. A window is insecure if there is a security manager, and its checkTopLevelWindow method (I-§1.15.22) returns false when passed this window as an argument.

If the window is secure, then the getWarningString method returns null. If the window is insecure, this methods checks for a system property awt.appletWarning and returns the string value of that property. If there is no such property, the default warning string is used instead. The default warning string is "Warning: Applet Window".

Returns:

the warning string for this window.

Causes the subcomponents of this window to be laid out at their preferred size.

If this window is not yet visible, make it visible. If this window is already visible, then bring it to the front (II-§1.42.9).

Overrides:

show in class Component (II-§1.10.70).

See Also:

hide in class Component (II-§1.10.23).

Sends this window to the back.

Brings this window to the front.
