Lock window from being resized.

in General Discussion • Other • 11 months ago

I'd like to lock my app from being resized &

I found the frame.setResizable(boolean) but frame seems not to be initialzed on P.1.5.1 ( Nullpointer ).
How would I do this?

I tried this in 1.5.1 (Windows 7) and also in 2.0b6 (Mac OS 10.6.8). Both worked as expected although you can still minimise.

void setup() {
size(400, 400);
frame.setResizable(false);
}

I like to throw the following code in sometimes too, so that it hides the frame entirely:

public void init() {
frame.removeNotify();
frame.setUndecorated(true);
frame.addNotify();
super.init();
}
void mousePressed() {
exit();
}

interesting! you are right! it works from processing pde, with no problem.

The issue then is only on external IDEs like Intellij.

A Processing sketch is based on the PApplet class which extends the java.applet.Applet class. For it to be visible then it must be run using the AppletViewer or it is embedded in another component. The Processing IDE embeds it in a java.awt.Frame object then sets the frame attribute of the PApplet class to refer to it, thus allowing access to the methods of Frame e.g. setResizable(boolean).

Other IDE's may or may not set the frame attribute, it looks like Intellij is one that doesn't.

I have not used this IDE but you maybe able to set the attribute yourself

Note also that applets run from the PDE (at least on Windows) are not resizable by default...
