First Thank you very much for the dukes.. You are really great...

Sorry zerocoool- i can't undesrtand your request....

>>.now can u give me another example that bring front already open internalframe to other frames

In that above program i used the toFront() method of an internal frame to take it to the front... so i can't understand what do you want still?

please explain your request little bit more clearly..please....

Thank You again....

Don't use:

for(int i=0;i<desk.getComponentCount();i++)

to get the internal frames. Not every component on the desktop will be an internal frame. For example if you iconify a frame you will find a JInternalFrame.JDesktopIcon. Instead use this method from the JDesktopPane:

getAllFrames();

Then when you select the internal frame you can also use the following:

jf.setIcon( false );>
