Don:
As far as I know, JInternalFrame sets its own root pane in the
constructor via a call to createRootPane(). WindowsSuppport treats a
JInternalFrame like a palette_layer inside a JLayeredPane, so I would
think that minimize would iconify the internal frame within the
JLayeredPane container (internal frame desktop).
The part that surprises me is that Maximize and Close work fine on the
JInternalFrame but Minimize does not. I would be fine with the
JinternalFrame minimizing to the internal desktop.
I am using JDK 6 update 4, Windows XP. I know this is not really an
OpenMap problem, but just curious about whether anyone else has had a
problem with this.
Thanks,
- John

Hi John,
I'm wondering if JInternalFrame needs a root pane set somewhere to
minimize to, like a desktop? I know I've done this in the past, but the
icon went to a place on the 'internal desktop' as opposed to the OS
location for icons.
Just out of curiosity, what OS/JDK are you using?
