Re: How do I make my Java 7 OSX App draggable on toolbar only ?

Unfortunately because this property is applied to the rootpane, and then is just one rootpane for the frame that the whole applications is a part of the window moves where-ever I drag on it, I only want to be able to drag on it in the toolbar. The main part of my application is a JTable and I really don't want the window to be moved when I dragclick here because it causes lots of problems such as I can now no longer reorder by table columns by dragging the table headers because that just moves the whole window. How can I limit movement to either: 1. Only the JToolbar 2. Everywhere except the Jtable whichever is easiest. thanks Paul Nevermind I found a solution, I used UnifiedToolbar from thehttp://code.google.com/p/macwidgets/ project with Java 6. Since moving to Java 7 and no longer using UnifiedToolbar I couldn't see a solution but delving into their code simply using WindowsDragger class works perfectly well i.e. new WindowsDragger(frame, toolbar); new WindowsDragger(frame, statusbar) In contrast the apple.awt.draggableWindowBackground option is only really useful if happy for the whole frame to be draggable.

In other words: it's not useful. But it would be great, if there was something that worked the way Paul used it originally. I.e. a property that can be set on a panel that makes it so that you can drag the window by dragging a panel/container. -hendrik Well it can be useful I use apple.awt.draggableWindowBackground in my SongKong app, and there is it is fine, but yes the option could really be improved on.
