Method Detail

float_

protected void float_()

Creates a new ExtendedJFrame instance and puts the RootPane of the current Application into it. A WindowListener is added to this frame, which will invoke the unfloat() method, when the frame is closed. The icon of the floatbutton is toggled and the previous content of the application is filled with a label which contains a text that indicates the application is in float mode.

unfloat

protected void unfloat()

This method adds the RootPane of the application back into the Applet instance. The content of the FloatFrame is removed and the instance will be discharded. If the SwingApplicationFrame.getFloatFrame() method returns null, this method does nothing.
