Working With Java Applets ...

[nima1985]

hi,
I just started working in java, using applets. Maybe i'm missing the general idea, but when I have a button on the page, it takes up the entire page and so I cant see the other labels on the applet (even tho I fixed the size of the button in init()). So I tried testing the init() function and found that if I change the button properties in the paint function, it works fine. So i made another function called displayInitComponents() where I re-size the button. but why doesnt the init function work for the button but work for the labels?

here's my code:

public class HelloWorldApplet extends JApplet implements MouseMotionListener {

JLabel test = new JLabel();
JLabel testid = new JLabel();
JButton b = new JButton();

public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
displayInitComponents();

}

public void init() {
super.init();

b.setText("button");
test.setText ("hi1");
testid.setText ("hi2");
test.setBackground(Color.blue);
testid.setForeground(Color.yellow);
test.setLocation(10,120);
testid.setLocation(10,130);
testid.setSize(50,20);
test.setSize(50,20);

add(testid);
add(test);
add(b);

validate();
// Add the MouseMotionListener to your applet
testid.addMouseMotionListener(this);
test.addMouseMotionListener(this);
b.addMouseMotionListener(this);
addMouseMotionListener(this);
repaint();
}


public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me)
{ ... }

public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent me)
{...}

void displayInitComponents(){

b.setBounds(50,50,80,20);

}


Thanks
