Question

By default, my Swing program starts at the top left hand side of the monitor. Is there a way to make it so it pops up at the right hand side?

What about dual monitors? Can I get it to pop on the right monitor?

Thanks.

Assuming you don’t want to cover up the taskbar, you should use getMaximumWindowBounds.

Centering JFrame’s

By default, a Jframe is displayed in
the upper-left corner of the screen.
To display a frame at a specified
location, you can use the
setLocation(x, y) method in the JFrame
class. This method places the
upper-left corner of a frame at
location (x, y).

Your pseudo code for the top right corner looks something like this:

yourJFrame.setLocation(
  GraphicsEnvironment.getMaximumWindowBounds().getWidth() - 
  yourJFrame.getWidth(), 0);
