Applet Re-paint Error

Question

I have a very large Applet, with a close button on it,
the functionality of the close button is:
this.stop(); //Just containing super.stop();
this.destroy(); //Just containing super.destroy();
this.getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL("http://localhost:8080/imap/servlet/ControllerServlet/servlet/SpatialServlet/CloseHome
This closes the Applet fine, however on loading the Applet for the second time,
I have to manually drag the mouse over each component to make it visable.
(Some error is throw in a Table Model I have)
Any ideas ?

Answer 1

First of all, don't call the applet's stop and destroy methods which are reserved for the browser or the appletviewer to call. Second, the probably reason why your applet doesn't display correctly is probably because your applet init method doesn't include a call to make it visible. Depending on how you code your applet, you can try the followings:
pack(); // only if a frame is involved
show();
setVisible(true);
validate();
etc.
