setBounds(0,0,-1,-1) make a JInternalFrame disappear
Hi all,
I have problem on making a JInternalFrame (searchInvoicePanel) appearing on screen.
I work with Netbeans 5.5 and the form designer automatically generates the searchInvoicePanel.setBounds method to (0, 0, -1, -1), while the normalBounds property on the editor is set to [0, 0, 600, 400].
I have tried to set the searchInvoicePanel.setBounds to the desired dimensions (0, 0, 600, 400) using other IDE and it works fine.
Below there is all the related code.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
JInternalFrame searchInvoicePanel =new JInternalFrame ();
JDesktopPane desktopPane =new JDesktopPane();
..
.
desktopPane.setMinimumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(600, 400));
desktopPane.setOpaque(false);
desktopPane.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(914, 686));
searchInvoicePanel.setDebugGraphicsOptions(javax.swing.DebugGraphics.LOG_OPTION);
searchInvoicePanel.setVisible(true);
searchInvoicePanel.setParent(this);
searchInvoicePanel.setBounds(0, 0, -1, -1);
desktopPane.add(searchInvoicePanel, javax.swing.JLayeredPane.DRAG_LAYER);
try{
searchInvoicePanel.setSelected(true);
}catch (java.beans.PropertyVetoException e1){
e1.printStackTrace();
}
layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
.addComponent(desktopPane, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, Short.MAX_VALUE));
layout.setVerticalGroup(
layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING)
.addComponent(desktopPane, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, Short.MAX_VALUE) );
java.awt.Dimension screenSize = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
setBounds((screenSize.width-922)/2, (screenSize.height-741)/2, 922, 741);
