Getting window position

[bison]

Greetings!

I have a parent window and a child window, but i want to create the child window in the center of the parent window. So, how can i get the coordinates of the parent window?

Check out the java.awt.Component API docs for a method that gets the location of the component in screen coordinates. And java.awt.window for a method to set location relative to another component.

-----------------------------

There is a Swing/AWT forum on this site that is the place to get the most knowledgeable help. (But don't repost or things will get confusing.)

Can i get a componentListener on the parent frame, to check if its moved, and get the new coordinates? with something similar to getX()? But what?

The API linked to above has several methods that will help you, most containing getLocation as part of the method name...
