Don't you really hate it when you a question and someone responds with
"Don't do it that way."? Unfortunately, I have to say, "Don't do it
that way. " :)
The Apple Human Interface guidelines specifically state (on p190)
Every document and application window and panel should have, at a
minimum:
■ A title bar. Even if a window does not have an actual title (a
tools panel, for example), it should have a
title bar so that users can move the window.
■ A close button, so that users have a consistent way to dismiss
the window.
Maybe with this information as background you'll understand why
Apple's Java implementation has no facility for doing what you want.
So again, I'd say, "don't do it that way." :)
For problem number two, the best solution I've found is to use an
offscreen window that is displayed when no other windows are open. It
will have your JMenuBar, and it will look like a normal Mac
application when no other windows are open, by displaying the hidden
window's JMenuBar.

Hi,
I'm currently writing a Swing application on the Mac. THere are a
couple of things that I don't find a solution for at the moment.
- I have a window in which I want to disable the close button. I
don't just want to have it do nothing, I actually want to make it
look disabled too. Anyone know how this is done?
- I want to have one menu bar for my entire application. Right now I
solved the problem by creating a JFrame class which has a JMenuBar
and I subclass all my JFrames from it. The only problem I have is
when no frames are open. Then I would still like to have the menu
bar visible as is common in Mac applications.
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Stef Kuypers
