Question

I would like to use setAlwaysOnTop(boolean) in java.

I want to setAlwaysOnTop() when I click on a JButton and this JButton has its own actionListener

My Problem is I don’t know how to set the JFrame on top at this situation, because it’s not inside the constructor nor there is a method getFrame()

I tried creating a method inside the constructor but it does not work :S.

UPDATE:

private class optionAction implements ActionListener{
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
        if(e.getSource() == onTop)  //onTop is a menuItem when I click it it should make the frame Always on top.
        frame.setAlwaysOnTop(true); //This does not work of course just to demonstrat you what I want to do
    }
}

Answer 1

The correct working code for this question is below:

private class optionAction implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            if(e.getSource() == onTop)  //onTop is a menuItem
            setAlwaysOnTop(true); //This does not work of course just to demonstrate you what I want to do
        }
    }

The reason this is does not work because I was setting the setAlwaysOnTop on a JFrame object, which it doesn’t exists in that class.

To set the setALwaysOnTop on a JFrame you have to remove the frame. and just add `setAlwaysOnTop()
