Code for foreground window

Processing Coding Questions
1

Hi there is a code to put window in the foreground, like: SetWindowsPos (0)?

2

Is this what you are looking for? This put always puts the window on top.

import javax.swing.*;
import processing.awt.*;
  JFrame window;
void setup() {
  window=(JFrame) ((PSurfaceAWT.SmoothCanvas)this.getSurface().getNative()).getFrame();
  window.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
}
void draw(){}

Or are you looking to change the location of the window?

import javax.swing.*;
import processing.awt.*;
  JFrame window;
void setup() {
  window=(JFrame) ((PSurfaceAWT.SmoothCanvas)this.getSurface().getNative()).getFrame();
  window.setLocation(0,0);
}
void draw(){}

Perfect, it works great, thanks you are the best.

No problem! For manipulating windows looking up the same thing for JFrames might be worth a shot as JFrames allow for very much manipulation like hiding or resizing. Also Processing uses them for it’s window too.

An easier way to do it without imports and that AWT stuff is simply,

surface.setAlwaysOnTop(true);

same goes for setting the location

surface.setLocation(0,0);

heres a list of the surface options PSurfaceNone

Thanks, sorry if I take advantage, is there also an instruction to minimize on the traybar and opposite?

Not that i have seen, maybe with JFrame as@NumericPrime suggested for controlling the window.
Using surface you could use

surface.setVisible(false);

that will hide the window, then use

surface.setVisible(true);

to make it visible again, bout the closest ive come

Thanks, I had already tried with “surface.setVisible (true);” but it doesn’t work, I will try, as recommended, to use the instructions inserted by @NumericPrime.

P.S. Sorry my english, but i’m italian.

Thank you all for your cooperation.
