[JAVA3D] MDIs and Java3D (Was: Re: [java3d] Canvas3D allways on top!!!)

[Andrew R. Thomas-Cramer]

If a JInternalFrame can't hold a Canvas3D, how can a Java3D scene be placed in a child window in an MDI (i.e., a window within a window)? Can it?     >A known problem with no known solution: >The Canvas3D is a heavyweight-object which means >it cannot be overlayed by Swing-components in the same container, 'cause >these are leightweight-components. You can only cover the Canvas3D with >JFrame, JWindow etc. The Java Tutorial and the API-doc contain full information >of the display capabilities of Swing-objects. >If I'm wrong, please tell me! >Christian >Rui Prada wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm building an aplication that uses a JDesktopPane. >> In this Desktop I have several windows(JInternalFrame) and one of them has >> a canvas3D to show some 3D info. >> The problem is that the canvas3D is allways on top of every JInternalFrame!!! >> Even if I use the toFront method. >> >> What can I do to fix this???? >> Thankx >> >> Rui Prada
