public class MathJFrame
extends javax.swing.JFrame

MathJFrame is intended to be used from Mathematica code, as a top-level window for user-interface elements created and displayed from a Mathematica program. MathJFrame is a simple subclass of javax.swing.JFrame that adds three features that are convenient for J/Link programmers. The first is that it calls dispose() on itself when its close box is clicked (this is not the default behavior of a JFrame window). The second feature is that it knows about so-called "modal" interaction with the Mathematica kernel, as described in Part 1 of the J/Link User Guide. If its setModal() method has been called, then when its close box is clicked a MathJFrame sends to Mathematica EndModal[], which will cause DoModal[] to return Null. The third feature is the onClose() method, which allows you to supply arbitrary Mathematica code that will be executed when the window is closed.

You can use MathJFrame in Java programs as well.

MathJFrame

public MathJFrame()

MathJFrame

public MathJFrame(java.lang.String title)

Lets you specify the window's title.

Parameters:

title - the window title

Method Detail

setModal

public void setModal()

Marks this window as using the Mathematica kernel in a modal way. The sole effect of calling setModal() is to cause this window to evaluate EndModal[] in Mathematica when its close box is clicked. Make sure that you use the DoModal or ShareKernel fuctions in Mathematica if you call setModal().

Modal windows are discussed in detail in Part 1 of the J/Link User Guide.

onClose

public void onClose(java.lang.String code)

Lets you specify some Mathematica code to be executed when the window is closed. This will occur after any MathWindowListeners are through, and before the EndModal[] call triggered if you also called setModal(). Because the call happens after any MathWindowListeners, it is safe to turn off kernel sharing in your onClose() code if you are using a modeless-type interface. This is the typical use for onClose()--to unregister kernel or front end sharing, or clean up any outstanding object references, when your modeless window is finally closed. This can save you from having to write a "cleanup" Mathematica function that your users would need to call after they finished with your modeless window.

Parameters:

code - the Mathematica code to execute

processWindowEvent

protected void processWindowEvent(java.awt.event.WindowEvent e)

Overrides:
