How Do you handle or control dragging. I want to create a "Window" that wont be able to be dragged outside of its child window. I checked out WindowListeners but non of them have any sort of drag Event. Is there a class in java that can handle dragging for a "Component" ?

Doesn't answer your question about window listeners but it solves your problem, look into the JInternalFrame it seems to do what you need :)

Vyper is right, dude - perhaps you're searching for a JInternalFrame. In that case, see the JDesktopPane documentation as well.

If by some (weird) reason you dont want to use JInternalFrames, you'll have to keep a reference to the parent window in the child window, and use a listener to any movement in the child window. I don't know for sure if such event is available, though.
