Is there a JFrame.getBounds equivalent that gets only the actual client area?

Question

Instead of the whole window complete with close, maxi- and minimize buttons, as well as border?

I'm trying to save a screenshot of the client area...maximizedBounds crashes the app...

Answer 1

Get the bounds of the content pane instead (i.e. JFrame.getContentPane().getBounds()).

that works, but I have to adjust the coordinates of the snapshot, it seems. – Sabadilla

I'm using the Robot to create the snapshot, your approach returns the correct dimensions, but x and y coordinates are both zero, I guess because getBounds returns the position relative to the parent, and that's x0 y0 for the panel. This results in robot taking a screenshot of my desktop that covers 0,0,PanelWidth,Panelheight, which only covers a region of my app, which is in the center of my screen. – Sabadilla

looks like as for that would be required Frame.getXxx +1 – Treacle

Answer 2

This did the trick:

   Point pos = this.getContentPane().getLocationOnScreen();
   Rectangle clientRect = this.getContentPane().getBounds(); 
   clientRect.x = pos.x;
   clientRect.y = pos.y;
