How to make a JInternalFrame non-clickable?

[Blockgen]

I'm trying to make a game where you have to shoot down a certain object based on certain information. I want to display this information in a JInternalFrame.
However if someone clicks or closes the JInternalFrame, then they cannot return to the game, it will just be frozen. Is there a way to avoid this?

[Zren]

Did you look at the documentation for the class?

[Blockgen]

Just did. The most relevant method is the isSelected method, which i can use in an if statement so that if isSelected == true then I can dispose of it. However I don't know where exactly to put it, since I'm using JLayeredPane as well, and that doesn't give me a name for the JInternalFrame.

Here is my code for reference:

code:

package mi; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.Graphics.*; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.awt.event.KeyEvent; import java.util.Random; public class Game implements KeyListener {     ImageIcon stars = new ImageIcon("resources/background.jpg");     ImageIcon sship = new ImageIcon("resources/ship.png");     ImageIcon life = new ImageIcon("resources/life.png");     ImageIcon bad = new ImageIcon("resources/bad.png");     Font text = new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 18);     JFrame f = new JFrame("Multiplication Nation");     JLayeredPane lp = new JDesktopPane();     static JLabel ship;     int shipx = 100;     int shippos = 2, badpos;     Random random = new Random();     JLabel[] eship, hearts;     static int nolife = -1;     public Game() {         //super ("Multiplication Nation");         f.setResizable(false);         f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);         f.setBounds(200, 100, 406, 522);         //f.setLayout(null);         f.setFocusable(true);         f.addKeyListener(this);                 Container content = f.getContentPane();          //lp.setBounds(0, 0, 406, 522);         //lp.setOpaque(false);                 JLabel background = new JLabel(stars);         background.setSize(400, 500);                 //Life         hearts = new JLabel[Menu.heart()];//change to variable for health         int heartx = 360;         for (int i = 0; i != Menu.heart(); i++) //change to variable for health         {             hearts[i] = new JLabel(life);             hearts[i].setBounds(heartx, 10, 30, 27);             heartx -= 35;             lp.add(hearts[i], new Integer(2));         }         //change to variable for health         eship = new JLabel[4];         int badx = 0;         for (int i = 0; i != 4; i++) //change to variable for health         {             eship[i] = new JLabel(bad);             eship[i].setBounds(badx, 50, 100, 100);             badx += 100;             lp.add(eship[i], new Integer(2));         }         JLabel x = new JLabel("X");         badpos = 1 + random.nextInt(4);         int[] xx = {30, 130, 230, 330};         x.setBounds(xx[badpos - 1], 50, 18, 20);         x.setForeground(Color.RED);         //Ship         ship = new JLabel(sship);         ship.setBounds(shipx, 370, 100, 100);         lp.add(background, new Integer(1));         lp.add(ship, new Integer(2));         lp.add(x, new Integer(3));         lp.add(makeLayer("test"),new Integer (2));                         content.add(lp,BorderLayout.CENTER);         f.add(lp);         f.show();     }     public void keyPressed(KeyEvent a) {         int keyCode = a.getKeyCode();         if (keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT && shippos != 1) {             shipx -= 100;             ship.setLocation(shipx, 370);             shippos -= 1;         }         if (keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT && shippos != 4) {             shipx += 100;             ship.setLocation(shipx, 370);             shippos += 1;         }         if (keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_SPACE && shippos == badpos) {             eship[badpos - 1].setVisible(false);         } else if (keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_SPACE && shippos != badpos) {             nolife++;             hearts[nolife].setVisible(false);         }     }     public void keyReleased(KeyEvent a) {     }     public void keyTyped(KeyEvent a) {     }     public static void main(String[] args) {         new Game();             }     public static JInternalFrame makeLayer(String label) {     return new InternalFrameMaker(label);   }     }

Here's the InternalFrameMaker class

code:

package mi; import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; public class InternalFrameMaker extends JInternalFrame {     public InternalFrameMaker(String name) {       getContentPane().add(new JLabel(name), BorderLayout.SOUTH);       setBounds(100, 100, 100, 100);       setResizable(false);       setClosable(true);       setMaximizable(false);       setIconifiable(false);       setTitle(name);       setVisible(true);           } }

What about setCloseable()?

[Blockgen]

They'll still be able to click it, which will make the program useless. Even if the JInternalFrame is gone, it still won't work
.

[Blockgen]

Wow. I just tried the program again, and when I closed the JInternalFrame, the game kept working. And now I tried it again, and it doesn't.

[Blockgen]

Hmm, so apparently I have to click outside the whole JFrame, and then click it again to make it work. Do you know of a possible way to circumvent this?

.setEnabled(false)

[Blockgen]

I can't do that because I'm extending the JInternalFrame. So if I were to make a button, I'd have no variable to put for it.

[Zren]

I just noticed you put setClosable(true). Don't you want setClosable(false)?

[chromium]

ERMAHGERD Some one haaalppp me pleaasee: http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=33643

[Blockgen]

If I set it to false, then If someone was to click the JInternalFrame, then there would be no way to return to the game.

If you know please tell me, what way is best for return the game?

Eh?

If I'm understanding you correctly, you want an area that can't be clicked or closed, and that's part of the UI. In that case, why not just use a JPanel or a JTextArea?
