JDesktopPane preferred size set by content
I have been trying to tame JDesktopPane to work nicely with a resizable GUI & a scroll pane, but am having some troubles doing so. It seems that unless the drag mode is outline, the desktop pane will not resize as expected (when an internal frame is dragged beyond the edge of the desktop pane) & therefore not produce scroll-bars.
Am I doing something very silly in this source? Have I missed a far better approach?

MouseMotionListener fixed code
Thanks to Jonathan Drapeau's suggestion of a MouseListener, this fixed example actually uses a MouseMotionListener to allow the desktop pane to be resized actively while dragging. It might suffer some quirks beyond use of a MouseListener that cause problems (none yet known), if so, go back to the simpler technique of 'resize desktop pane on internal frame drop' (MouseListener only).

Quirks
It might suffer some quirks beyond use of a
MouseListenerthat cause problems (none yet known).
That was then..
- In full render mode, the desktop pane will grow dynamically as far as the user drags the internal frame (even off the GUI). (Good.) In outline mode, the container will only resize on drop, not drag. (Less good, but at least the scroll-bars appear/disappear reliably.)
Solution
Adding a MouseListener to the JInternalFrame title pane while in JDesktopPane.LIVE_DRAG_MODE to revalidate the JDesktopPane after release is a way to get the exact same behavior in each mode.
final MouseListener testList = new MouseListener() {
@Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
dt.revalidate();
}
@Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
}
@Override
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
}
@Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
}
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
}
};
// causes maximized internal frames to be resized..
dt.addComponentListener(componentListener);
for (JInternalFrame jif : dt.getAllFrames()) {
for (Component comp : jif.getComponents()) {
if (comp instanceof BasicInternalFrameTitlePane) {
comp.addMouseListener(testList);
}
}
}
final JCheckBox outLineDragMode = new JCheckBox("Outline Drag Mode");
ActionListener dragModeListener = new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (outLineDragMode.isSelected()) {
dt.setDragMode(JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE);
for (JInternalFrame jif : dt.getAllFrames()) {
for (Component comp : jif.getComponents()) {
if (comp instanceof BasicInternalFrameTitlePane) {
comp.removeMouseListener(testList);
}
}
}
} else {
dt.setDragMode(JDesktopPane.LIVE_DRAG_MODE);
for (JInternalFrame jif : dt.getAllFrames()) {
for (Component comp : jif.getComponents()) {
if (comp instanceof BasicInternalFrameTitlePane) {
comp.addMouseListener(testList);
}
}
}
}
}
};
I remove them in the JDesktopPane.OUTLINE_DRAG_MODE since it already reacts properly.
