Use JFrame instead of JDialog in Netbeans Wizard
java, netbeans, swing, wizard
Solution
Changing is quite easy.
- Open the form in NetBeans.
- Change `extends javax.swing.JDialog` to `extends javax.swing.JFrame`.
- Save the file and close it.
- Reopen the file.
- In designer mode, make a change. I usually just change the name of a component.
- Save the file.
- Undo the change and save the file again.
You should be all set.
Problem
I have build an application using the Netbeans Wizard Framework as outlined here and here. I have my application working properly, but the problem I have is that the application does not show in the windows taskbar. I am pretty sure the problem is that the Wizard Framework uses a JDialog instead of a JFrame, but I can't figure out if that can be changed. If anyone has experience with this framework, please let me know if it can be made to appear in the taskbar.
