How to add swing components in an applet

hello friends;
I encounterd one problem that is I created one applet which I derived from JApplet and now I want to add some swing components to that applet. I added them properly and when I am testing my applet in Appletviewer it is working fine but when I tested it in internet explorer it is not working. Please help me overcome this problem
Thanks in advance.

IE does not support swing if you do not have the java-plugin installed. Either install that, then IE can display Swing components - or use AWT which can be displayed by IE.
cheers,

  • How to add scroll function in  the applet launched by  Java Web Start?

    I have Java Web Start installed in order for the applet to launch.The applet size: width:700 height:1000

    Thanks for help.
    email:[email protected]

    You can very easily add a JScrollPane manually between the Applet and your content. Perhaps it would be beter if javaws did this automatically. In the browser, an applet can be any size. In Java Web Start an applet is directly contained within a JFrame, so it cannot be smaller than the minimum size of a JFrame, or Larger than the max.

  • I can't use swing components in my applets

    When I write an applet without any swing components, my browser never has any trouble finding the classes it needs, whether they're classes I've written or classes that came with Java. However, when I try to use swing components it cannot find them, because it is looking in the wrong place:
    On my computer I have a directory called C:\Java, into which I installed my Java Development Kit (so Sun's classes are stored in the default location within that directory, wherever that is), and I store my classes in C:\Java\Files\[path depends on package]. My browser gives an error message along the lines of "Cannot find class JFrame at C:\Java\Files\javax\swing\JFrame.class"; it shouldn't be looking for this non-existent directory, it should find the swing components where it finds, for example, the Applet class and the Graphics class.
    Is there any way I can set the classpath on my browser? Are the swing components stored separately from other classes (I'm using the J2SE v1.3)?
    Thanks in advance.

    Without having complete information, it appears that you are running your applets using the browser's VM. Further, I assume you are using either IE or Netscape Navigator pre-v6. In that case, your browser only supports Java 1.1, and Swing was implemented in Java 1.2. You need to use the Java plug-in in order to use the Swing classes (see the Plug-in forum for more information), or else download the Swing classes from Sun and include them in your CLASSPATH.

  • Swing components without using applets

    hi there
    can i display swing components on the browser without using applets through jsp.
    if the answer is yes.please help me by sending a sample code.thanking u.
    -radhakrishna

    A JSP is compiled into a (server-side, obviously) servlet, which responds to Http requests by constructing a String of HTML/JavaScript etc to send back to the browser which then displays it.
    A Swing component is a piece of Java. The only way for such a component to run on the client side is to use either Applets or the new Java WebStart technology (see the JDC), which allows you to run a Java App locally from a Web Browser.
    You cannot possible use JSP to view Swing Components, without also using either of the above.

  • How to use Swing Components in  JavaFX

    I am new to JavaFx. I am trying to use java swing components in javafx.

    This code which used the MySwingButton shows error: imcompatible type. found MySwingButton. Required javafx.scene.Node[] - where i have added the MySwingButton.
    Please help me to fix the error.
    Thanks &Regards,
    Nandha K

    Hi Sasa,
    First thanks for your reply.
    I found the problem and have fixed.
    Problem:
    There is no class MySwingButton in the package swingcomponents. Its MySwingComponent that i should have used, which is a big mistake that i have done. To my surprise i don't know NetBeans didn't show any error message at that line.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Not getting swing components when the applet reloads

    I am facing one problem that is related to reloading of swing components. I Have a JPanel inside JApplet which contains some swing components and a button to launch the same JPanel again in the JApplet. When I click on the button the JPanel should get added in the JApplet once again below the upper JPanel. But new JPanel is not getting displayed although the reference of the new JPanel is created.

    My guess is that you haven't added your swing components to the right place. Are you adding them to the contentpane?

  • How to add wifi password from nm-applet to kdewallet

    Hi.
    I would ask you for help. I followed solution on www in order to disable password check-in on every boot by kdewallet. Changed kdewallet password for blank password, then i deleted kdewallet. After that i found that my wifi won't connect. I have to delete wifi network, add new one, enter password each time on every single boot. I want to restore kdewallet with password for wifi so i created new kdewallet but it won't store password from nm-applet, wifi  network.
    For the very first time kdewallet asked if i want to store password, the one new created don't ask for this, so i thinkl it is why he won't store password. Is there a way to fix it in order kdewallet to store password for wifi, like the first one, that opened on every boot? I don't wan't to delete my wifi network, create it again in order to connect.
    Help.

    Thank you for answer. Yes, i did that. I deleted wallet from kde4 but result is the same. I create new one, but there is no question for storing password there (example: when using wifi that is password protected i have to enter password, no question if i would like to store it)
    Sorry forum bumping. Won't happen again.

  • Swing components and Mac OS/9

    Hi all,
    I 've developped an app using swing components (Simple app using a hsqlbd database) and i read that it was kind of possible to port it on a mac os/9.
    I had a look on the net, on the apple site, without any luck as how to "add" swing library on the mac os/9.
    If someone could point me to the right direction (Web site, book etc), I 've been looking for a while without finding any clear and precise info on how to tackle this kind of problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    As per my knowledge, u can use JJEdit editor on MAC OS X. By using this editor, you can run the applets. Here I am using JJEdit as a java editor on MAC OS X. just dowload the JJEdit. and run the applet on it.

    Thanks for the response. I don't quite understand what you're talking about though. I have, in my humble knowledge, done nothing with packages. I have put the applet class (WiaRekenToolActiz.class is the applet class) in the jar file wia_actiz_archive.jar. From what I read on the tutorial, java looks for the applet class in all the jar files specified. Since I put my CODEBASE as the main url, I thought it baiscally didn't matter where you out the html file.
    I shall include the complete html page complete with applet tag to perhaps illuminate a bit more what I mean...

  • How to list/access swing components?

    hi all,
    Can anyone give me a clue, how can I access or simply list swing components I have on a frame, long after I created them. E.g. I'd like to change their setEnabled() attribute at a later time, not at creation time, but I don't know how to access them.
    Does Swing/AWT/JFC provides a component hierarchy? can someone share some code on this issue?
    Thanks for any help.
    Thomas

    I guess, you are saying the use of getComponent(int n)?
    Since I'm a beginner in Swing see my short code below:
    import java.awt.BorderLayout;
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JMenu;
    import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
    import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
    import javax.swing.JTextArea;
    public class EasyFrame {
        public EasyFrame() {
            super();
            startHere();
        public void startHere() {
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("SwingApplication");
            JButton button = new JButton("click here");
            JTextArea area = new JTextArea();
            frame.setSize(300, 200);
            frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            frame.getContentPane().add(area, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            frame.getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
            area.setText("Hello World");
            JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
            JMenu menu = new JMenu("A Menu");
            menuBar.add(menu);
            JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("A text item");
            menu.add(menuItem);
            menu.addSeparator();
            menuItem = new JMenuItem("hello");
            menu.add(menuItem);
            JMenu subMenu = new JMenu("submenu");
            menuItem = new JMenuItem("sub1");
            subMenu.add(menuItem);
            menuItem = new JMenuItem("sub2");
            subMenu.add(menuItem);
            menu.add(subMenu);
            frame.getContentPane().add(menuBar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
            frame.show();
         public static void main(String[] args) {
         EasyFrame ef = new EasyFrame();
    }If I make a System.out.println(frame.getContentPane().getComponentCount());I get 3. But I should dig deeper (with getComponent(2)) to access JMenuBar. But this way I receive a AWT Component / not a JMenuBar Swing component to get its JMenu / and its JMenuItems. And I cannot make it cast to JMenuBar since this walk-through routine should be a universal while(isThereMoreCompenent){} procedure, I don't know when to cast to what (JMenu, JMenuItem, Button and so on).
    My problem is that how can I access the JMenuItems one by one, and change e.g. the setEnabled attribute of the "hello" menu?
    I hope you can make it clear to me.
    Please help if so.

  • Can't add in Swing components with Background

  • How can I learn "Drag and Drop" with Swing components?

    Hello,
    Im using swing components, so using paint() to draw a "drag icon" doesnt seem acceptable. Im basically trying to move a JPanel image to be dragged/dropped over another JPanel in the same program/applet.
    I looked at Sun's Java Tutorial for information on doing drag and drop, but there was no trail completed yet.
    Does anyone know of any good resources to learn? Or can at least give me a general idea of how to do drag and drop?

    Did you see this?

                   fileInput.close();
                   logoImage.setImage(image);
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   System.err.println(e);
              return logoImage;
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              JFrame jf = new JFrame("testImage");
              Container cp = jf.getContentPane();
              cp.add(LogoImage.createImage("logo.gif"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
              jf.setVisible(true);
              jf.pack();
    }Now you can use this class anywhere in your pgram to add a JPanel

  • How can I use two fonts in swing components?

    I want to implement a project. When a part of the JMenuBar, JButton or other swing components' text is English, I use Tahoma font, and other of these components' text is Chinese, I use SimSun font, just like the Chinese Windows OS. How can I implement it??
    Thanks!!

    Ooh, thats a tricky one. I'm not sure whether you can do that, but maybe someone else with more experienced can correct me.
    You'll probably have to create your own custom JMenu that displays two labels, one for English and one for the Chinese parts?
