    public class Window

extends Container
implements Accessible

A `Window` object is a top-level window with no borders and no menubar. The default layout for a window is `BorderLayout`.

A window must have either a frame, dialog, or another window defined as its owner when it's constructed.

In a multi-screen environment, you can create a `Window` on a different screen device by constructing the `Window` with `Window(Window, GraphicsConfiguration)`. The `GraphicsConfiguration` object is one of the `GraphicsConfiguration` objects of the target screen device.

In a virtual device multi-screen environment in which the desktop area could span multiple physical screen devices, the bounds of all configurations are relative to the virtual device coordinate system. The origin of the virtual-coordinate system is at the upper left-hand corner of the primary physical screen. Depending on the location of the primary screen in the virtual device, negative coordinates are possible, as shown in the following figure.

In such an environment, when calling `setLocation`, you must pass a virtual coordinate to this method. Similarly, calling `getLocationOnScreen` on a `Window` returns virtual device coordinates. Call the `getBounds` method of a `GraphicsConfiguration` to find its origin in the virtual coordinate system.

The following code sets the location of a `Window` at (10, 10) relative to the origin of the physical screen of the corresponding `GraphicsConfiguration`. If the bounds of the `GraphicsConfiguration` is not taken into account, the `Window` location would be set at (10, 10) relative to the virtual-coordinate system and would appear on the primary physical screen, which might be different from the physical screen of the specified `GraphicsConfiguration`.

            Window w = new Window(Window owner, GraphicsConfiguration gc);
            Rectangle bounds = gc.getBounds();
            w.setLocation(10 + bounds.x, 10 + bounds.y);

Note: the location and size of top-level windows (including `Window`s, `Frame`s, and `Dialog`s) are under the control of the desktop's window management system. Calls to `setLocation`, `setSize`, and `setBounds` are requests (not directives) which are forwarded to the window management system. Every effort will be made to honor such requests. However, in some cases the window management system may ignore such requests, or modify the requested geometry in order to place and size the `Window` in a way that more closely matches the desktop settings.

Due to the asynchronous nature of native event handling, the results returned by `getBounds`, `getLocation`, `getLocationOnScreen`, and `getSize` might not reflect the actual geometry of the Window on screen until the last request has been processed. During the processing of subsequent requests these values might change accordingly while the window management system fulfills the requests.

An application may set the size and location of an invisible `Window` arbitrarily, but the window management system may subsequently change its size and/or location when the `Window` is made visible. One or more `ComponentEvent`s will be generated to indicate the new geometry.

Windows are capable of generating the following WindowEvents: WindowOpened, WindowClosed, WindowGainedFocus, WindowLostFocus.

  JDK1.0

Constructor Detail

### Window

    public Window(Frame owner)

  Constructs a new, initially invisible window with the specified `Frame` as its owner. The window will not be focusable unless its owner is showing on the screen.

  If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's `checkTopLevelWindow` method with `this` as its argument to determine whether or not the window must be displayed with a warning banner.

  Parameters:
    `owner` - the `Frame` to act as owner or `null` if this window has no owner
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the `owner`'s `GraphicsConfiguration` is not from a screen device
    `HeadlessException` - when `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless` returns `true`
  See Also:
    `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()`, `SecurityManager.checkTopLevelWindow(java.lang.Object)`, `isShowing()`

### Window

    public Window(Window owner)

  Constructs a new, initially invisible window with the specified `Window` as its owner. This window will not be focusable unless its nearest owning `Frame` or `Dialog` is showing on the screen.

  If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's `checkTopLevelWindow` method with `this` as its argument to determine whether or not the window must be displayed with a warning banner.

  Parameters:
    `owner` - the `Window` to act as owner or `null` if this window has no owner
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the `owner`'s `GraphicsConfiguration` is not from a screen device
    `HeadlessException` - when `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()` returns `true`
  Since:
    1.2
  See Also:
    `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()`, `SecurityManager.checkTopLevelWindow(java.lang.Object)`, `isShowing()`

### Window

    public Window(Window owner,
                  GraphicsConfiguration gc)

  Constructs a new, initially invisible window with the specified owner `Window` and a `GraphicsConfiguration` of a screen device. The Window will not be focusable unless its nearest owning `Frame` or `Dialog` is showing on the screen.

  If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's `checkTopLevelWindow` method with `this` as its argument to determine whether or not the window must be displayed with a warning banner.

  Parameters:
    `owner` - the window to act as owner or `null` if this window has no owner
    `gc` - the `GraphicsConfiguration` of the target screen device; if `gc` is `null`, the system default `GraphicsConfiguration` is assumed
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `gc` is not from a screen device
    `HeadlessException` - when `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()` returns `true`
  Since:
    1.3
  See Also:
    `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()`, `SecurityManager.checkTopLevelWindow(java.lang.Object)`, `GraphicsConfiguration.getBounds()`, `isShowing()`

Method Detail

### getIconImages

    public List<Image> getIconImages()

  Returns the sequence of images to be displayed as the icon for this window.

  This method returns a copy of the internally stored list, so all operations on the returned object will not affect the window's behavior.

  Returns:
    the copy of icon images' list for this window, or empty list if this window doesn't have icon images.
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `setIconImages(java.util.List)`, `setIconImage(Image)`

### setIconImages

    public void setIconImages(List<? extends Image> icons)

  Sets the sequence of images to be displayed as the icon for this window. Subsequent calls to `getIconImages` will always return a copy of the `icons` list.

  Depending on the platform capabilities one or several images of different dimensions will be used as the window's icon.

  The `icons` list is scanned for the images of most appropriate dimensions from the beginning. If the list contains several images of the same size, the first will be used.

  Ownerless windows with no icon specified use platfrom-default icon. The icon of an owned window may be inherited from the owner unless explicitly overridden. Setting the icon to `null` or empty list restores the default behavior.

  Note : Native windowing systems may use different images of differing dimensions to represent a window, depending on the context (e.g. window decoration, window list, taskbar, etc.). They could also use just a single image for all contexts or no image at all.

  Parameters:
    `icons` - the list of icon images to be displayed.
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `getIconImages()`, `setIconImage(Image)`

### setIconImage

    public void setIconImage(Image image)

  Sets the image to be displayed as the icon for this window.

  This method can be used instead of `setIconImages()` to specify a single image as a window's icon.

  The following statement:

           setIconImage(image);

  is equivalent to:

           ArrayList imageList = new ArrayList();
           imageList.add(image);
           setIconImages(imageList);

  Note : Native windowing systems may use different images of differing dimensions to represent a window, depending on the context (e.g. window decoration, window list, taskbar, etc.). They could also use just a single image for all contexts or no image at all.

  Parameters:
    `image` - the icon image to be displayed.
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `setIconImages(java.util.List)`, `getIconImages()`

### addNotify

    public void addNotify()

  Makes this Window displayable by creating the connection to its native screen resource. This method is called internally by the toolkit and should not be called directly by programs.

  Overrides:
    `addNotify` in class `Container`
  Since:
    JDK1.0
  See Also:
    `Component.isDisplayable()`, `Container.removeNotify()`

### removeNotify

    public void removeNotify()

  Makes this Container undisplayable by removing its connection to its native screen resource. Making a container undisplayable will cause all of its children to be made undisplayable. This method is called by the toolkit internally and should not be called directly by programs.

  Overrides:
    `removeNotify` in class `Container`
  See Also:
    `Component.isDisplayable()`, `Container.addNotify()`

### pack

    public void pack()

  Causes this Window to be sized to fit the preferred size and layouts of its subcomponents. If the window and/or its owner are not yet displayable, both are made displayable before calculating the preferred size. The Window will be validated after the preferredSize is calculated.

  See Also:
    `Component.isDisplayable()`

### setMinimumSize

    public void setMinimumSize(Dimension minimumSize)

  Sets the minimum size of this window to a constant value. Subsequent calls to `getMinimumSize` will always return this value. If current window's size is less than `minimumSize` the size of the window is automatically enlarged to honor the minimum size.

  If the `setSize` or `setBounds` methods are called afterwards with a width or height less than that specified by `setMinimumSize` the window is automatically enlarged to honor the `minimumSize` value. Setting the minimum size to `null` restores the default behavior.

  Resizing operation may be restricted if the user tries to resize window below the `minimumSize` value. This behaviour is platform-dependent.

  Overrides:
    `setMinimumSize` in class `Component`
  Parameters:
    `minimumSize` - the new minimum size of this window
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `Component.setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension)`, `Container.getMinimumSize()`, `Component.isMinimumSizeSet()`, `setSize(Dimension)`

### setSize

    public void setSize(Dimension d)

  Resizes this component so that it has width `d.width` and height `d.height`.

  The `d.width` and `d.height` values are automatically enlarged if either is less than the minimum size as specified by previous call to `setMinimumSize`.

  Overrides:
    `setSize` in class `Component`
  Parameters:
    `d` - the dimension specifying the new size of this component
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `Component.getSize()`, `setBounds(int, int, int, int)`, `setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension)`

### setSize

    public void setSize(int width,
                        int height)

  Resizes this component so that it has width `width` and height `height`.

  The `width` and `height` values are automatically enlarged if either is less than the minimum size as specified by previous call to `setMinimumSize`.

  Overrides:
    `setSize` in class `Component`
  Parameters:
    `width` - the new width of this component in pixels
    `height` - the new height of this component in pixels
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `Component.getSize()`, `setBounds(int, int, int, int)`, `setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension)`

### reshape

    @Deprecated
    public void reshape(int x,
                                   int y,
                                   int width,
                                   int height)

  Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by `setBounds(int, int, int, int)`.

  Overrides:
    `reshape` in class `Component`

### setVisible

    public void setVisible(boolean b)

  Shows or hides this `Window` depending on the value of parameter `b`.

  Overrides:
    `setVisible` in class `Component`
  Parameters:
    `b` - if `true`, makes the `Window` visible, otherwise hides the `Window`. If the `Window` and/or its owner are not yet displayable, both are made displayable. The `Window` will be validated prior to being made visible. If the `Window` is already visible, this will bring the `Window` to the front.

    If `false`, hides this `Window`, its subcomponents, and all of its owned children. The `Window` and its subcomponents can be made visible again with a call to `#setVisible(true)`.

  See Also:
    `Component.isDisplayable()`, `Component.setVisible(boolean)`, `toFront()`, `dispose()`

### show

    @Deprecated
    public void show()

  Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.5, replaced by `setVisible(boolean)`.

  Makes the Window visible. If the Window and/or its owner are not yet displayable, both are made displayable. The Window will be validated prior to being made visible. If the Window is already visible, this will bring the Window to the front.

  Overrides:
    `show` in class `Component`
  See Also:
    `Component.isDisplayable()`, `toFront()`

### hide

    @Deprecated
    public void hide()

  Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.5, replaced by `setVisible(boolean)`.

  Hide this Window, its subcomponents, and all of its owned children. The Window and its subcomponents can be made visible again with a call to `show`.

  Overrides:
    `hide` in class `Component`
  See Also:
    `show()`, `dispose()`

### dispose

    public void dispose()

  Releases all of the native screen resources used by this `Window`, its subcomponents, and all of its owned children. That is, the resources for these `Component`s will be destroyed, any memory they consume will be returned to the OS, and they will be marked as undisplayable.

  The `Window` and its subcomponents can be made displayable again by rebuilding the native resources with a subsequent call to `pack` or `show`. The states of the recreated `Window` and its subcomponents will be identical to the states of these objects at the point where the `Window` was disposed (not accounting for additional modifications between those actions).

  Note: When the last displayable window within the Java virtual machine (VM) is disposed of, the VM may terminate. See AWT Threading Issues for more information.

  See Also:
    `Component.isDisplayable()`, `pack()`, `show()`

### toFront

    public void toFront()

  If this Window is visible, brings this Window to the front and may make it the focused Window.

  Places this Window at the top of the stacking order and shows it in front of any other Windows in this VM. No action will take place if this Window is not visible. Some platforms do not allow Windows which own other Windows to appear on top of those owned Windows. Some platforms may not permit this VM to place its Windows above windows of native applications, or Windows of other VMs. This permission may depend on whether a Window in this VM is already focused. Every attempt will be made to move this Window as high as possible in the stacking order; however, developers should not assume that this method will move this Window above all other windows in every situation.

  Because of variations in native windowing systems, no guarantees about changes to the focused and active Windows can be made. Developers must never assume that this Window is the focused or active Window until this Window receives a WINDOW_GAINED_FOCUS or WINDOW_ACTIVATED event. On platforms where the top-most window is the focused window, this method will probably focus this Window, if it is not already focused. On platforms where the stacking order does not typically affect the focused window, this method will probably leave the focused and active Windows unchanged.

  If this method causes this Window to be focused, and this Window is a Frame or a Dialog, it will also become activated. If this Window is focused, but it is not a Frame or a Dialog, then the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of this Window will be activated.

  If this window is blocked by modal dialog, then the blocking dialog is brought to the front and remains above the blocked window.

  See Also:
    `toBack()`

### toBack

    public void toBack()

  If this Window is visible, sends this Window to the back and may cause it to lose focus or activation if it is the focused or active Window.

  Places this Window at the bottom of the stacking order and shows it behind any other Windows in this VM. No action will take place is this Window is not visible. Some platforms do not allow Windows which are owned by other Windows to appear below their owners. Every attempt will be made to move this Window as low as possible in the stacking order; however, developers should not assume that this method will move this Window below all other windows in every situation.

  Because of variations in native windowing systems, no guarantees about changes to the focused and active Windows can be made. Developers must never assume that this Window is no longer the focused or active Window until this Window receives a WINDOW_LOST_FOCUS or WINDOW_DEACTIVATED event. On platforms where the top-most window is the focused window, this method will probably cause this Window to lose focus. In that case, the next highest, focusable Window in this VM will receive focus. On platforms where the stacking order does not typically affect the focused window, this method will probably leave the focused and active Windows unchanged.

### getToolkit

    public Toolkit getToolkit()

  Returns the toolkit of this frame.

  Overrides:
    `getToolkit` in class `Component`
  Returns:
    the toolkit of this window.
  See Also:
    `Toolkit`, `Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit()`, `Component.getToolkit()`

### getWarningString

    public final String getWarningString()

  Gets the warning string that is displayed with this window. If this window is insecure, the warning string is displayed somewhere in the visible area of the window. A window is insecure if there is a security manager, and the security manager's `checkTopLevelWindow` method returns `false` when this window is passed to it as an argument.

  If the window is secure, then `getWarningString` returns `null`. If the window is insecure, this method checks for the system property `awt.appletWarning` and returns the string value of that property.

  Returns:
    the warning string for this window.
  See Also:
    `SecurityManager.checkTopLevelWindow(java.lang.Object)`

### getLocale

### setModalExclusionType

    public void setModalExclusionType(Dialog.ModalExclusionType exclusionType)

  Specifies the modal exclusion type for this window. If a window is modal excluded, it is not blocked by some modal dialogs. See `Dialog.ModalExclusionType` for possible modal exclusion types.

  If the given type is not supported, `NO_EXCLUDE` is used.

  Note: changing the modal exclusion type for a visible window may have no effect until it is hidden and then shown again.

  - A WindowListener object is registered via `addWindowListener`
  - Window events are enabled via `enableEvents`

  Note that if the event parameter is `null` the behavior is unspecified and may result in an exception.

  Parameters:

### setAlwaysOnTop

    public final void setAlwaysOnTop(boolean alwaysOnTop)
                              throws SecurityException

  Sets whether this window should always be above other windows. If there are multiple always-on-top windows, their relative order is unspecified and platform dependent.

  If some other window is already always-on-top then the relative order between these windows is unspecified (depends on platform). No window can be brought to be over the always-on-top window except maybe another always-on-top window.

  All windows owned by an always-on-top window inherit this state and automatically become always-on-top. If a window ceases to be always-on-top, the windows that it owns will no longer be always-on-top. When an always-on-top window is sent `toBack`, its always-on-top state is set to `false`.

  When this method is called on a window with a value of `true`, and the window is visible and the platform supports always-on-top for this window, the window is immediately brought forward, "sticking" it in the top-most position. If the window isn`t currently visible, this method sets the always-on-top state to `true` but does not bring the window forward. When the window is later shown, it will be always-on-top.

  When this method is called on a window with a value of `false` the always-on-top state is set to normal. The window remains in the top-most position but it`s z-order can be changed as for any other window. Calling this method with a value of `false` on a window that has a normal state has no effect. Setting the always-on-top state to false has no effect on the relative z-order of the windows if there are no other always-on-top windows.

  Note: some platforms might not support always-on-top windows. To detect if always-on-top windows are supported by the current platform, use `Toolkit.isAlwaysOnTopSupported()` and `isAlwaysOnTopSupported()`. If always-on-top mode isn't supported by the toolkit or for this window, calling this method has no effect.

  If a SecurityManager is installed, the calling thread must be granted the AWTPermission "setWindowAlwaysOnTop" in order to set the value of this property. If this permission is not granted, this method will throw a SecurityException, and the current value of the property will be left unchanged.

  Parameters:
    `alwaysOnTop` - true if the window should always be above other windows
  Throws:
    `SecurityException` - if the calling thread does not have permission to set the value of always-on-top property
  Since:
    1.5
  See Also:
    `isAlwaysOnTop()`, `toFront()`, `toBack()`, `AWTPermission`, `isAlwaysOnTopSupported()`, `Toolkit.isAlwaysOnTopSupported()`

### isAlwaysOnTopSupported

    public boolean isAlwaysOnTopSupported()

  Returns whether the always-on-top mode is supported for this window. Some platforms may not support always-on-top windows, some may support only some kinds of top-level windows; for example, a platform may not support always-on-top modal dialogs.

  Returns:
    `true`, if the always-on-top mode is supported by the toolkit and for this window, `false`, if always-on-top mode is not supported for this window or toolkit doesn't support always-on-top windows.
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `setAlwaysOnTop(boolean)`, `Toolkit.isAlwaysOnTopSupported()`

### isAlwaysOnTop

    public final boolean isAlwaysOnTop()

  Returns whether this window is an always-on-top window.

  Returns:
    `true`, if the window is in always-on-top state, `false` otherwise
  Since:
    1.5
  See Also:
    `setAlwaysOnTop(boolean)`

### getFocusOwner

    public Component getFocusOwner()

  Returns the child Component of this Window that has focus if this Window is focused; returns null otherwise.

  Returns:
    the child Component with focus, or null if this Window is not focused
  See Also:
    `getMostRecentFocusOwner()`, `isFocused()`

### getMostRecentFocusOwner

    public Component getMostRecentFocusOwner()

  Returns the child Component of this Window that will receive the focus when this Window is focused. If this Window is currently focused, this method returns the same Component as `getFocusOwner()`. If this Window is not focused, then the child Component that most recently requested focus will be returned. If no child Component has ever requested focus, and this is a focusable Window, then this Window's initial focusable Component is returned. If no child Component has ever requested focus, and this is a non-focusable Window, null is returned.

  Returns:
    the child Component that will receive focus when this Window is focused
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `getFocusOwner()`, `isFocused()`, `isFocusableWindow()`

### isActive

    public boolean isActive()

  Returns whether this Window is active. Only a Frame or a Dialog may be active. The native windowing system may denote the active Window or its children with special decorations, such as a highlighted title bar. The active Window is always either the focused Window, or the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of the focused Window.

  Returns:
    whether this is the active Window.
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `isFocused()`

### isFocused

    public boolean isFocused()

  Returns whether this Window is focused. If there exists a focus owner, the focused Window is the Window that is, or contains, that focus owner. If there is no focus owner, then no Window is focused.

  If the focused Window is a Frame or a Dialog it is also the active Window. Otherwise, the active Window is the first Frame or Dialog that is an owner of the focused Window.

  Returns:
    whether this is the focused Window.
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `isActive()`

### getFocusTraversalKeys

    public Set<AWTKeyStroke> getFocusTraversalKeys(int id)

  Gets a focus traversal key for this Window. (See `setFocusTraversalKeys` for a full description of each key.)

  If the traversal key has not been explicitly set for this Window, then this Window's parent's traversal key is returned. If the traversal key has not been explicitly set for any of this Window's ancestors, then the current KeyboardFocusManager's default traversal key is returned.

  Overrides:
    `getFocusTraversalKeys` in class `Container`
  Parameters:
    `id` - one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
  Returns:
    the AWTKeyStroke for the specified key
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if id is not one of KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, or KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `Container.setFocusTraversalKeys(int, java.util.Set)`, `KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS`, `KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS`, `KeyboardFocusManager.UP_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS`, `KeyboardFocusManager.DOWN_CYCLE_TRAVERSAL_KEYS`

### setFocusCycleRoot

    public final void setFocusCycleRoot(boolean focusCycleRoot)

  Does nothing because Windows must always be roots of a focus traversal cycle. The passed-in value is ignored.

  Overrides:
    `setFocusCycleRoot` in class `Container`
  Parameters:
    `focusCycleRoot` - this value is ignored
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `isFocusCycleRoot()`, `Container.setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy)`, `Container.getFocusTraversalPolicy()`

### isFocusCycleRoot

    public final boolean isFocusCycleRoot()

  Always returns `true` because all Windows must be roots of a focus traversal cycle.

  Overrides:
    `isFocusCycleRoot` in class `Container`
  Returns:
    `true`
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `setFocusCycleRoot(boolean)`, `Container.setFocusTraversalPolicy(java.awt.FocusTraversalPolicy)`, `Container.getFocusTraversalPolicy()`

### getFocusCycleRootAncestor

    public final Container getFocusCycleRootAncestor()

  Always returns `null` because Windows have no ancestors; they represent the top of the Component hierarchy.

  Overrides:
    `getFocusCycleRootAncestor` in class `Component`
  Returns:
    `null`
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `Container.isFocusCycleRoot()`

### isFocusableWindow

    public final boolean isFocusableWindow()

  Returns whether this Window can become the focused Window, that is, whether this Window or any of its subcomponents can become the focus owner. For a Frame or Dialog to be focusable, its focusable Window state must be set to `true`. For a Window which is not a Frame or Dialog to be focusable, its focusable Window state must be set to `true`, its nearest owning Frame or Dialog must be showing on the screen, and it must contain at least one Component in its focus traversal cycle. If any of these conditions is not met, then neither this Window nor any of its subcomponents can become the focus owner.

  Returns:
    `true` if this Window can be the focused Window; `false` otherwise
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `getFocusableWindowState()`, `setFocusableWindowState(boolean)`, `isShowing()`, `Component.isFocusable()`

### getFocusableWindowState

    public boolean getFocusableWindowState()

  Returns whether this Window can become the focused Window if it meets the other requirements outlined in `isFocusableWindow`. If this method returns `false`, then `isFocusableWindow` will return `false` as well. If this method returns `true`, then `isFocusableWindow` may return `true` or `false` depending upon the other requirements which must be met in order for a Window to be focusable.

  By default, all Windows have a focusable Window state of `true`.

  Returns:
    whether this Window can be the focused Window
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `isFocusableWindow()`, `setFocusableWindowState(boolean)`, `isShowing()`, `Component.setFocusable(boolean)`

### setFocusableWindowState

    public void setFocusableWindowState(boolean focusableWindowState)

  Sets whether this Window can become the focused Window if it meets the other requirements outlined in `isFocusableWindow`. If this Window's focusable Window state is set to `false`, then `isFocusableWindow` will return `false`. If this Window's focusable Window state is set to `true`, then `isFocusableWindow` may return `true` or `false` depending upon the other requirements which must be met in order for a Window to be focusable.

  Setting a Window's focusability state to `false` is the standard mechanism for an application to identify to the AWT a Window which will be used as a floating palette or toolbar, and thus should be a non-focusable Window. Setting the focusability state on a visible `Window` can have a delayed effect on some platforms — the actual change may happen only when the `Window` becomes hidden and then visible again. To ensure consistent behavior across platforms, set the `Window`'s focusable state when the `Window` is invisible and then show it.

  Parameters:
    `focusableWindowState` - whether this Window can be the focused Window
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `isFocusableWindow()`, `getFocusableWindowState()`, `isShowing()`, `Component.setFocusable(boolean)`

    an AccessibleAWTWindow that serves as the AccessibleContext of this Window
  Since:
    1.3

### getGraphicsConfiguration

    public GraphicsConfiguration getGraphicsConfiguration()

  This method returns the GraphicsConfiguration used by this Window.

  Overrides:
    `getGraphicsConfiguration` in class `Component`
  Returns:
    the `GraphicsConfiguration` used by this `Component` or `null`
  Since:
    1.3

### setLocationRelativeTo

    public void setLocationRelativeTo(Component c)

  Sets the location of the window relative to the specified component.

  If the component is not currently showing, or `c` is `null`, the window is placed at the center of the screen. The center point can be determined with `GraphicsEnvironment.getCenterPoint`

  If the bottom of the component is offscreen, the window is placed to the side of the `Component` that is closest to the center of the screen. So if the `Component` is on the right part of the screen, the `Window` is placed to its left, and visa versa.

  Parameters:
    `c` - the component in relation to which the window's location is determined
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `GraphicsEnvironment.getCenterPoint()`

### createBufferStrategy

    public void createBufferStrategy(int numBuffers)

  Creates a new strategy for multi-buffering on this component. Multi-buffering is useful for rendering performance. This method attempts to create the best strategy available with the number of buffers supplied. It will always create a `BufferStrategy` with that number of buffers. A page-flipping strategy is attempted first, then a blitting strategy using accelerated buffers. Finally, an unaccelerated blitting strategy is used.

  Each time this method is called, the existing buffer strategy for this component is discarded.

  Parameters:
    `numBuffers` - number of buffers to create
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if numBuffers is less than 1.
    `IllegalStateException` - if the component is not displayable
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `Component.isDisplayable()`, `getBufferStrategy()`

### createBufferStrategy

    public void createBufferStrategy(int numBuffers,
                                     BufferCapabilities caps)
                              throws AWTException

  Creates a new strategy for multi-buffering on this component with the required buffer capabilities. This is useful, for example, if only accelerated memory or page flipping is desired (as specified by the buffer capabilities).

  Each time this method is called, the existing buffer strategy for this component is discarded.

  Parameters:
    `numBuffers` - number of buffers to create, including the front buffer
    `caps` - the required capabilities for creating the buffer strategy; cannot be `null`
  Throws:
    `AWTException` - if the capabilities supplied could not be supported or met; this may happen, for example, if there is not enough accelerated memory currently available, or if page flipping is specified but not possible.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if numBuffers is less than 1, or if caps is `null`
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `getBufferStrategy()`

### getBufferStrategy

    public BufferStrategy getBufferStrategy()

  Returns the `BufferStrategy` used by this component. This method will return null if a `BufferStrategy` has not yet been created or has been disposed.

  Returns:
    the buffer strategy used by this component
  Since:
    1.4
  See Also:
    `createBufferStrategy(int)`

### setLocationByPlatform

    public void setLocationByPlatform(boolean locationByPlatform)

  Sets whether this Window should appear at the default location for the native windowing system or at the current location (returned by `getLocation`) the next time the Window is made visible. This behavior resembles a native window shown without programmatically setting its location. Most windowing systems cascade windows if their locations are not explicitly set. The actual location is determined once the window is shown on the screen.

  This behavior can also be enabled by setting the System Property "java.awt.Window.locationByPlatform" to "true", though calls to this method take precedence.

  Calls to `setVisible`, `setLocation` and `setBounds` after calling `setLocationByPlatform` clear this property of the Window.

  For example, after the following code is executed:

       setLocationByPlatform(true);
       setVisible(true);
       boolean flag = isLocationByPlatform();

  The window will be shown at platform's default location and `flag` will be `false`.

  In the following sample:

       setLocationByPlatform(true);
       setLocation(10, 10);
       boolean flag = isLocationByPlatform();
       setVisible(true);

  The window will be shown at (10, 10) and `flag` will be `false`.

  Parameters:
    `locationByPlatform` - `true` if this Window should appear at the default location, `false` if at the current location
  Throws:
    ``IllegalComponentStateException`` - if the window is showing on screen and locationByPlatform is `true`.
  Since:
    1.5
  See Also:
    `Component.setLocation(int, int)`, `isShowing()`, `setVisible(boolean)`, `isLocationByPlatform()`, `System.getProperty(String)`

### isLocationByPlatform

    public boolean isLocationByPlatform()

  Returns `true` if this Window will appear at the default location for the native windowing system the next time this Window is made visible. This method always returns `false` if the Window is showing on the screen.

  Returns:
    whether this Window will appear at the default location
  Since:
    1.5
  See Also:
    `setLocationByPlatform(boolean)`, `isShowing()`

### setBounds

    public void setBounds(int x,
                          int y,
                          int width,
                          int height)

  Moves and resizes this component. The new location of the top-left corner is specified by `x` and `y`, and the new size is specified by `width` and `height`.

  The `width` or `height` values are automatically enlarged if either is less than the minimum size as specified by previous call to `setMinimumSize`.

  Overrides:
    `setBounds` in class `Component`
  Parameters:
    `x` - the new x-coordinate of this component
    `y` - the new y-coordinate of this component
    `width` - the new `width` of this component
    `height` - the new `height` of this component
  Since:
    1.6
  See Also:
    `Component.getBounds()`, `Component.setLocation(int, int)`, `Component.setLocation(Point)`, `setSize(int, int)`, `setSize(Dimension)`, `setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension)`, `setLocationByPlatform(boolean)`, `isLocationByPlatform()`

### setBounds

    public void setBounds(Rectangle r)

  Moves and resizes this component to conform to the new bounding rectangle `r`. This component's new position is specified by `r.x` and `r.y`, and its new size is specified by `r.width` and `r.height`

  The `r.width` or `r.height` values will be automatically enlarged if either is less than the minimum size as specified by previous call to `setMinimumSize`.

  Overrides:
    `setBounds` in class `Component`
  Parameters:
    `r` - the new bounding rectangle for this component
  Since:
    1.6

    `Component.getBounds()`, `Component.setLocation(int, int)`, `Component.setLocation(Point)`, `setSize(int, int)`, `setSize(Dimension)`, `setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension)`, `setLocationByPlatform(boolean)`, `isLocationByPlatform()`

### paint

    public void paint(Graphics g)

  Paints the container. This forwards the paint to any lightweight components that are children of this container. If this method is reimplemented, super.paint(g) should be called so that lightweight components are properly rendered. If a child component is entirely clipped by the current clipping setting in g, paint() will not be forwarded to that child.

  Overrides:
    `paint` in class `Container`
  Parameters:
    `g` - the specified Graphics window
  See Also:
    `Component.update(Graphics)`
