如何防止任务栏中的JFrame警报效果

How to prevent JFrame alert effect in taskbar

我是一名 Java SE 开发者,我们的程序只在 windows OS 运行,程序需要打开文件并显示在 UI ,我们在 JInternalFrame 中显示文件内容,并在文件打开时始终 setselected(true)

最近我们将我们的程序从 JRE1.6.0_41 更新到 JRE1.8.0_144 以解决一个主要错误,并注意到在 JRE1.8 中。0_144 当我们的程序 (JFrame) 未获得焦点并且在 JFrame 的 JInternalFrame 上调用 setselected(true),JFrame 会在任务栏中闪烁,而 JRE1.6.0_41 不会。有些客户认为这很烦人,因为他们必须经常打开文件。

所以问题是:

(1) 我可以关闭该功能吗?

(2) 如果我不能,有没有其他方法可以避免闪烁效果,同时我仍然可以在 JInternalFrame 上 setSelected()

如果我没解释好,下面是示例代码演示提醒效果,请运行程序最小化到任务栏切换到另一个 window,然后它应该会闪烁。我在Windows 7, Windows 8.1 和 Windows 10 上测试过,它们都具有相同的警报效果。

更新 01

这是根据@camickr 建议添加 KeyboardFocusManagerWindowListener 的更新代码,当 JFrame 获得焦点或 JFrame 获得焦点时,仅在 JInternalFrame 上添加 setselected(true),但警报仍然存在如果您频繁切换 windows 会发生这种情况,我认为这是因为 JFrame 在 JInternalFrame 上的 setselected(true) 之前失去了焦点。也许有改进代码的方法?

we display the file contents in JInternalFrame and always setselected(true) when the file is opened.

不知道如何停止任务栏上的闪烁,但您可以通过不自动调用 setSelected() 来更改行为。

例如,您可以:

  1. 仅在框架处于活动状态时调用 setSelected() window。您可以使用 KeyboardFocusManager 检查 window 是否聚焦。

  2. 向框架添加一个WindowListener并处理windowActivated事件以在最近打开的内部框架上调用setSelected()方法。

编辑:

run the program and minimize it into taskbar,

首先我要澄清的是,如果我将框架最小化到任务栏,图标闪烁是没有问题的。

仅当我单击另一个应用程序时图标才会闪烁,并且登录框架在打开时失去焦点。

the alert still happen if you switch windows frequently,

我将您的代码更改为:

//if (KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getFocusOwner() != null &&
//    SwingUtilities.isDescendingFrom(KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getFocusOwner(), this)) {
if (KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getActiveWindow() == this)
{
    try
    {
        System.out.println("active");
        frame.setSelected(true);
    }
    catch (java.beans.PropertyVetoException e) {}
}
else
{
    System.out.println("not");
//  frame = m_InternalFrameWaitSelected;
    m_InternalFrameWaitSelected = frame;
}

我注意到有时 "active" 会显示在另一个 window 中,即使它正在玩游戏。所以出于某种原因,KeyboardFocusManager 返回了一个不正确的值(或者我不明白该方法应该如何工作?)

所以也许你可以尝试使用 getGlobalActiveWindow() 方法看看它是否有任何不同。

如果没有,那么我的下一个建议是忘记 KeyboardFocusManager 并管理一个布尔变量,该变量指示您的框架是否处于活动状态。因此,您可以在 windowActivated 中设置变量 true,在 windowDeactivated 中设置 false。然后在创建框架时测试此变量。

另请注意我是如何更改以下代码的:

//  frame = m_InternalFrameWaitSelected;
    m_InternalFrameWaitSelected = frame;

如果有人有兴趣解答,我追查JInternalFrame中的源代码后,发现闪烁效果是由调用setSelected(true)时的requestFocus()引起的,所以我决定继承JInternalFrame,将requestFocus()替换为requestFocusInWindow(),现在闪烁效果消失了。

这是我对这个问题的最终解决方案:
