outline - true to enable JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE, or false to enable JDesktopPane.LIVE_DRAG_MODE.

getOutlineDragMode

public boolean getOutlineDragMode()

Gets frames' drawing strategy.

Returns:

true if desktop's DragMode is JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE or false if desktop's DragMode is JDesktopPane.LIVE_DRAG_MODE.

setDeiconifiablePolicy

public void setDeiconifiablePolicy(boolean p)

Sets de-iconifiable policy. Should we force a frame to de-iconify if it is iconified, during cascade operations?

Parameters:

p - true if force, false otherwise.

getDeiconifiablePolicy

public boolean getDeiconifiablePolicy()

Gets the de-iconifiable policy.

Returns:

The de-iconifiable policy.

setClosePolicy

public void setClosePolicy(boolean p)

Sets the close policy. Should we do default close operation per frame or force close it?

Gets the auto position frames policy.

Returns:

The auto-position policy.
