Summary:
Center Dialogs depending on MainFrame

Hi,

maybe it is not a bug, i dont take a look into the source code, but if i open dialogs they are always in the middle of my 2 Screens (using linux). So maybe iReport use setLocationRelativeTo(null) and not something like setLocationRelativeTo(it.businesslogic.ireport.gui.MainFrame)?

Last one should center the dialog relativ to the iReport MainFrame.

Thanks for the great Tool!

Regards Bonkers

I use a static method in it.businesslogic.ireport.util.Misc to center frames.

Here is the code:

public static void centerFrame(java.awt.Component c) {
java.awt.Toolkit tk =
java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
c.setLocation((int)((tk.getScreenSize
().getWidth()-c.getWidth())/2),
(int)((tk.getScreenSize().getHeight()-
c.getHeight())/2) );
}

I simply center the window on the screen. You can change this method to fix your problem, but I don't think that center a frame inside the MainFrame is the best solution.

Anyway I don't see this as a bug, I'll move this submission to the RFE.

Let me know.

Thanks a lot.
Giulio
