Re: floating palette windows



Strangely enough I had a look at Photoshop on Windows the other day specifically to see how it handled floating palettes. I'm not sure what version it was but it used an MDI so all of the palettes were implemented inside of the outer window.

JInternalFrames can be set to look like a palette on some look and feels (including Aqua). I have wondered whether it would be possible to create one of these on the sly and then borrow its title bar for my own purposes but I couldn't find a way to do that. Does anyone know if this is feasible.

I haven't seen floating palette windows in any major windows application (MS

an application looses/gains focus.



I wonder how Photoshop and Illustrator handle all those tool windows. It's been
a while since I had them installed on a w32 box.
