JFrame resizable height ONLY

JFrame.setResizable(true) lets the user resize both the width and height of a window. Does a method exist which allows the user to ONLY resize the height?

Thanks.

Edit: The solutions below do NOT seem to work. On a 360x600 JFrame,

setResizable(true);
pack();
setMaximizedBounds(new java.awt.Rectangle(0, 0, 360, 1200));
setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(360, 1200));
setMinimumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(360, 600));
setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(360, 600));
开发者_如何学GosetVisible(true);

Still allows fully stretching the width of the JFrame, and setting setResizable(false) allows nothing to be stretched.

The code below does the job right.

addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {

    @Override
    public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {
        setSize(new Dimension(preferredWidth, getHeight()));
        super.componentResized(e);
    }

});

If you have experience with JNI, then this is a possible solution.

In Windows and Oracle Hotspot, this code will allow a window to be resized between minimum and maximum dimensions without flickering or causing any of the nasty JFrame-post-resize side-effects. If this code is called once the JFrame is created and made visible, then the code used above in componentResized() to catch resize events can be completely done away with, as Windows has facilities to keep the user from being able to resize above or below the specified min/max sizes.

// Java code:

static {
    if (System.getProperty("sun.arch.data.model").equals("32"))
    {   // 32-bit JVM
        System.loadLibrary("my32bitdll");
        System.out.println("Running 32-bit JVM");

    } else {
        // 64-bit JVM
        System.loadLibrary("my64bitdll");
        System.out.println("Running 64-bit JVM");
    }
}
// Sets a window to never be resized above or below these minimum widths/heights
public static native int setMinMaxResizeBoundaries(int hwnd, int minWidth, int minHeight, int maxWidth, int maxHeight);

// C++ code (include standard windows.h, winbase.h, etc)

// Global variables defined in DllMain.cpp
// Used for setMinMaxResizeBoundaries()

I do not think there is a method expressly for that purpose. However, you could preset the JFrame's preferred, minimum, and maximum size such that the widths are all equal.

Dimension dimPreferred = frame.getPreferedSize();
Dimension dimMinimum = frame.getMinimumSize();
Dimension dimMaximum = frame.getMaximumSize();
dimPreferred.setWidth( FIXED_WIDTH );
dimMinimum.setWidth( FIXED_WIDTH );
dimMaximum.setWidth( FIXED_WIDTH );
frame.setPreferredSize( dimPreferred );
frame.setMinimumSize( dimMinimum );
frame.setMaximumSize( dimMaximum );

You will probably want to do this after frame.pack() and before frame.setVisible(true).

I believe most platforms will honour setMaximumSize and setMinimumSize. There is also setMaximizedBounds.

What doesn't work is adding a listener to reset the width. Threading issues makes it look unpleasant. If you have PL&F decorated windows (not supported by the Windows PL&F), then they can be hacked about with.

Instead of setResizable(true) use setResizable(false) Infact setResizable(false) did the trick for me. It even disabled maximization (dimmed the icon)

Okay, I should have explained myself better. I wanted to get the resizeable thing working too. That's why I landed on this question. But I finally went with this, thought that would help the OP.

I wanted to do resizable too, but thought if I can't get resizable to work, disabling is better because it won't mess up your content placement. Thought I'd suggest that as a solution.

To avoid flickering, you can override #setBounds method in your JFrame. Seems like every resize will call it. Something like

@Override
public void setBounds(int x, int y, int width, int height) {
    if (width == FIXED_WIDTH) {
        super.setBounds(x, y, width, height);
    }
}

did the trick for me.

I am using this code exactly for this purpose and it works (it is actually edited @Hoazhun solution as his original code will lock both width and height, but in my version you can set height manually yet having width fixed):

int defWindowW = 300;
int defWindowH = 600;
JFrame MAIN_WINDOW = new JFrame();

MAIN_WINDOW.addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {

    public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {

        int W = Integer.parseInt(e.paramString().split(",")[1].split(" ")[1].split("x")[0].replace(")", ""));
        int H = Integer.parseInt(e.paramString().split(",")[1].split(" ")[1].split("x")[1].replace(")", ""));

        /* FOR FIXED WIDTH - ACTIVE NOW, COMMENT IT OUT FOR DISABLING*/ MAIN_WINDOW.setSize(new Dimension(defWindowW, H));
        
        /* FOR FIXED HEIGHT - UNCOMMENT TO MAKE IT ACTIVE */
        //MAIN_WINDOW.setSize(new Dimension(W, defWindowH));

        super.componentResized(e);
    }
});
