Method Detail

getParentWindow

public static Window getParentWindow()

Returns a suitable parent window, which is the last explicitly set and still showing parent window or any of its showing parent windows, the last focused and still showing window or any of its showing parent windows or any other showing window - whichever is found first. If no showing window is found, JOptionPane's root frame is returned.

setParentWindow

public static void setParentWindow(Window w)

Deprecated. You shouldn't use this method any more, but rely on the implementation in getParentWindow().

getLastFocusedWindow

public static Window getLastFocusedWindow()

Returns the last window which received the focus. If no window received the focus yet or is already made eligible for finalization, null is returned instead. Note that this is not the same as Windows.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getFocusedWindow(): The latter may return null if no window in this JVM has the focus, while this method will return the last window in this JVM which had the focus (unless this is also the first call to this method).
