<\/a><\/p>\nSo I set out to get the window to automatically undock as well as to remove that annoying tab.<\/p>\n
In order to get the window to be opened as undocked, I needed to define a new separated mode to dock the window into. See section 3 of Geertjan\u2019s Secrets of the NetBeans Window System<\/a> post for more details about the mode. Note that the mode\u2019s kind property needs to be editor for the whole thing to work.<\/p>\n I called my new mode floater, and the code that opens and maximises the window now looked like this:<\/p>\n [java]Mode floater = WindowManager.getDefault().findMode(“floater”); But the pesky tab was of course still there, so I needed more information. And in my search I came across another of Geertjan\u2019s articles – Farewell to Space Consuming Weird Tabs<\/a>. I did, however, not want to remove all the tabs from the whole application, just that particular one. So after creating the class test.NoTabsTabDisplayerUI as Geertjan describes, I had to find the right spot to set the UIManager property. And as it turns out, I just had to set the property before opening the window, and reset it to its previous value after. So the code finally is:<\/p>\n [java]Mode floater = WindowManager.getDefault().findMode(“floater”); In our NetBeans Platform application, we have a TopComponent that needs to always be opened in an undocked and maximised state. When I manually undocked the window the first time though, I immediately noticed that the single tab that appears in the window just looks really silly. So I set out to get the window … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1v8WL-9D","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pellissier.co.za\/hermien\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pellissier.co.za\/hermien\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pellissier.co.za\/hermien\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pellissier.co.za\/hermien\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pellissier.co.za\/hermien\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pellissier.co.za\/hermien\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/597\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pellissier.co.za\/hermien\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pellissier.co.za\/hermien\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pellissier.co.za\/hermien\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
