Class WindowUtils
- java.lang.Object

- com.sun.jna.platform.WindowUtils
 
- 
 public class WindowUtils extends java.lang.ObjectProvides additional features on a JavaWindow.- Non-rectangular shape (bitmap mask, no antialiasing)
- Transparency (constant alpha applied to window contents or transparent background)
- Fully transparent window (the transparency of all painted pixels is applied to the window).
 NOTE: Neither shaped windows nor transparency currently works with Java 1.4 under X11. This is at least partly due to 1.4 using multiple X11 windows for a single given Java window. It *might* be possible to remedy by applying the window region/transparency to all descendants, but I haven't tried it. In addition, windows must be both displayable and visible before the corresponding native Drawable may be obtained; in later Java versions, the window need only be displayable. NOTE: If you use setWindowMask(Window,Shape)and overrideWindow.paint(Graphics)on OS X, you'll need to explicitly set the clip mask on theGraphicsobject with the window mask; only the content pane of the window and below have the window mask automatically applied.NOTE: On OSX, the property apple.awt.draggableWindowBackgroundis set automatically when a window's background color has an alpha component. That property must be set to its final value before the heavyweight peer for the Window is created. OnceComponent.addNotify()has been called on the component, causing creation of the heavyweight peer, changing this property has no effect.- Author:

Method Detail- 
setWindowMaskpublic static void setWindowMask(java.awt.Window w, java.awt.Shape mask)Applies the given mask to the given window. Does nothing if the operation is not supported. The mask is treated as a bitmap and ignores transparency.
 - 
setComponentMaskpublic static void setComponentMask(java.awt.Component c, java.awt.Shape mask)Applies the given mask to the given heavyweight component. Does nothing if the operation is not supported. The mask is treated as a bitmap and ignores transparency.
 - 
setWindowMaskpublic static void setWindowMask(java.awt.Window w, javax.swing.Icon mask)Applies the given mask to the given window. Does nothing if the operation is not supported. The mask is treated as a bitmap and ignores transparency.
 - 
isWindowAlphaSupportedpublic static boolean isWindowAlphaSupported() Indicate a window can have a global alpha setting.
 - 
getAlphaCompatibleGraphicsConfigurationpublic static java.awt.GraphicsConfiguration getAlphaCompatibleGraphicsConfiguration() Returns aGraphicsConfigurationcomptible with alpha compositing.
 - 
setWindowAlphapublic static void setWindowAlpha(java.awt.Window w, float alpha)Set the overall window transparency. An alpha of 1.0 is fully opaque, 0.0 fully transparent. The alpha level is applied equally to all window pixels.NOTE: Windows requires that sun.java2d.noddraw=truein order for alpha to work.NOTE: On OSX, the property apple.awt.draggableWindowBackgroundmust be set to its final value before the heavyweight peer for the Window is created. OnceComponent.addNotify()has been called on the component, causing creation of the heavyweight peer, changing this property has no effect.- See Also:

 - 
setWindowTransparentpublic static void setWindowTransparent(java.awt.Window w, boolean transparent)Set the window to be transparent. Only explicitly painted pixels will be non-transparent. All pixels will be composited with whatever is under the window using their alpha values. On OSX, the propertyapple.awt.draggableWindowBackgroundmust be set to its final value before the heavyweight peer for the Window is created. OnceComponent.addNotify()has been called on the component, causing creation of the heavyweight peer, changing this property has no effect.- See Also:

 - 
getWindowIconpublic static java.awt.image.BufferedImage getWindowIcon(WinDef.HWND hwnd) Obtains the set icon for the window associated with the specified window handle.- Parameters:
- hwnd- The concerning window handle.
- Returns:
- Either the window's icon or nullif an error occurred.
 
 - 
getIconSizepublic static java.awt.Dimension getIconSize(WinDef.HICON hIcon) Detects the size of an icon.- Parameters:
- hIcon- The icon handle type.
- Returns:
- Either the requested icon's dimension or an Dimensioninstance of(0, 0).
 
 - 
getAllWindowspublic static java.util.List<DesktopWindow> getAllWindows(boolean onlyVisibleWindows) Requests a list of all currently available Desktop windows.- Parameters:
- onlyVisibleWindows- Specifies whether only currently visible windows will be considered (- true). That are windows which are not minimized. The- WS_VISIBLEflag will be checked (see: User32.IsWindowVisible(HWND)).
- Returns:
- A list with all windows and some detailed information.
 
 - 
getWindowTitlepublic static java.lang.String getWindowTitle(WinDef.HWND hwnd) Tries to obtain the Window's title which belongs to the specified window handle.- Parameters:
- hwnd- The concerning window handle.
- Returns:
- Either the title or an empty string of no title was found or an error occurred.
 
 - 
getProcessFilePathpublic static java.lang.String getProcessFilePath(WinDef.HWND hwnd) Detects the full file path of the process associated with the specified window handle.- Parameters:
- hwnd- The concerning window handle for which the PE file path is required.
- Returns:
- The full file path of the PE file that is associated with the specified window handle.
 
 - 
getWindowLocationAndSizepublic static java.awt.Rectangle getWindowLocationAndSize(WinDef.HWND hwnd) Requests the location and size of the window associated with the specified window handle.- Parameters:
- hwnd- The concerning window handle.
- Returns:
- The location and size of the window.
