How do I create a window from an applet?

Question

I am trying to create a window application from an applet. The window that I need should meet the following criteria:
1. The window application will be created when I click on one of the buttons in the applet.
2. If I close the applet from the browser, the window application should not be affected.
3. I should be able to close the window by clicking the X icon on the upper right corner.
4. The window application works by itself. It does not need to interact with the applet any more.
Is there any example similar to what I am looking for available?

Answer 1

1. Easy.
Button myButton = new Button( "a button" ) ;
myButton.addActionListener( new ActionListener()
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
Frame myFrame = new Frame( "a frame" ) ;
myFrame.show() ;
add( myButton ) ;2. Short answer, can't be done. Long answer, I think it can be done with something called "Java WebReady", but I don't how. (needs JDK 1.4, I think)
3. Easy. You just have to add a window listener to the frame.
class closeWindowListener extends WindowAdapter
     private Frame myFrame ;
     closeWindowListener( Frame myFrame )
          this.myFrame = myFrame ;
     public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e )
          myFrame.dispose() ;
myFrame.addWindowListener( new closeWindowListener( myFrame ) ) ;
myFrame.show() ;4. Fine with me, but keep in mind the difficulty of #2.
