Hi guys,

The button script (thanks to adamaustin ![:thumb_left:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/e26afb081ddde6df016df6ee49159cf56aaca688.gif ":thumb\_left:") ) that worked perfectly in V7.6 now fails to work in V7.7

```auto
from java.awt import Frame

win = system.gui.getParentWindow(event)
print "got it"
parent = win
while parent is not None:
   win = parent
   parent = win.getParent()
   print ("got another" if parent is not None else "TOP")
win.setState(Frame.ICONIFIED)
```

The Error that comes up

Not sure if its a Java 8 issue?? ![:scratch:](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/76d1620bec252bfac07050c889ff5a91dc8a9c25.gif ":scratch:")

Any guidance is appreciated.

This looks like a bug in Ignition 7.7. You can get around this by using this code:

```auto
from javax.swing import JFrame
from org.python.core import Py
win = system.gui.getParentWindow(event)
while not isinstance(win,JFrame):   
   win = win.getParent()
javaWin = Py.tojava(win,JFrame)
javaWin.setState(JFrame.ICONIFIED)
```

This is fixed in 7.7.1-rc2
