How to remove JInternalFrame's Border?

Question

I've searched about removing JInternalFrame's border, n I've got answer here. But now my query is after applying border to null, the border is not removed. As per second answer given in the question, I've tried to set border to Empty border n I've got success. And finally, my questions are as below.

1. Why border is not removed even if I set border to null (e.g. jif.setBorder(null);)?
2. I've set border to empty border (e.g. jif.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());), but the titlebar of JInternalFrame is still visible, how to hide JInternalFrame's Title with its border?

The JInternalFrame code is as follows

import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JInternalFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class AboutUs extends JInternalFrame {

    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -4542063025572303166L;

    private JPanel panel;

    public AboutUs()
    {
        setTitle("About Us");
        setLayout(null);

        panel=new JPanel();
            panel.setSize(200, 200);
            panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("About Us"));
        add(panel);
        setMaximizable(true);
    }

    public JPanel getPanel()
    {
        return panel;
    }
}

I've another question one:
3. How to disable of dragging JInternalFrame? i.e. the JInternalFrame must not be moved by user.

Answer 1

How to remove JInternalFrame's Border?

You use:

internalFrame.setBorder( null );

This works for me using JDK8 in Windows 7. If it doesn't work for you post a proper SSCCE.

how to hide JInternalFrame's Title with its border?

You can use the following. It will still leave a little border at the top if the internal frame to allow you to drag the frame around

internalFrame.putClientProperty("JInternalFrame.isPalette", Boolean.TRUE);

If you don't need the dragging functionality then real question is why are you trying to remove the border? The point if using an internal frame is to allow the user to freely move the frame around the desktop by dragging the frame.

If all you need is a panel without a Border, then use a JPanel and add the panel to a parent panel. There is no need for the complexity of a JDestopPane/JInternalPane if you are not going to use those features.
