JInternalFrame

Use a JInternalFrame bean to provide a frame that is a child of a JDesktopPane bean. By contrast, a JFrame bean is a child of the desktop. The user can manipulate an internal frame within a desktop pane. For example, the user can maximize, minimize, resize, move, or close the internal frame.

The JInternalFrame bean provides a content pane in which to place other components. The content pane provides logical separation of the frame from its child components. With the exception of a JMenuBar, user interface components are added to the content pane. The default content pane, a JInternalFrameContentPane, is represented in the Beans List as the child of the JInternalFrame bean. You can delete the default content pane and replace it with another container component.
