The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Needing to create a bordered FullScreen Swing window

Tags: Java, Swing
Hi, I'm currently working on a project for my work (a little helper application) and I decided that I would write it in Java and Swing.

problem is that this segment, I want to create a full screen maximized window with a border. Problem is that all the help I've been finding has been for borderless windows which isnt what I need.

Here is the code I have so far for my frame class...

public class GraphicDisplay{
    
    public GraphicDisplay(String Server){
        Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
        Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
        Dimension screen = toolkit.getScreenSize();
        frame = new JFrame("Information on " + Server);
        frame.setSize(MAX_LENGTH,MAX_HEIGHT);
        
        //I may still use gridBuilder.. I dont know...
        
        //Negoitates the placement of the window on the screen
        //makes it always center itself on screen...
        x = (int)((screen.getWidth() - frame.getWidth()) / 2);
        y = (int)((screen.getHeight() - frame.getWidth()) / 2);
        frame.setLocation(x,y);
        frame.setResizable(true);
        frame.setExtendedState(frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }
    
    static JFrame frame;
    int MAX_LENGTH = 300;
    int MAX_HEIGHT = 150;    
    int x;
    int y;

See, I tried something like that before, but I ran into troubles with there being viewing area that I couldnt see under my bottom GNOME task bar. I would like it to be maximized within the normal veiwing boundries on no matter what OS I run it on. For example, I'm writing this on Linux.. but my boss who will be using this.. will mostly be running Windows. I would like it to be in full screen mode when anybody starts it, but still have the borders within the viewing area. I know there HAS to be something like that in this language, because i've seen it done.
