Parts of applet won't display until later

Question

I have this very simple applet (a clock) and everything is working the way is should except that the image of my clock won't display until I press one of the buttons.
here's part of the code:
public class horlogeVue extends JApplet{
public void init(){
Container c = getContentPane();
c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
     hourPlus = new JButton("h+");
... (more buttons)
hour = new JLabel("heure");
minute = new JLabel("minute");
seconde = new JLabel("seconde");
c.add(hour);
hModele = new horlogeModele(this);
hControle = new horlogeControle(hModele);
hourPlus.addActionListener(hControle.new hourP());
public void display(int timeH, int timeM, int timeS){
time = "heure="+timeH+", minute="+timeM+", seconde="+timeS;
repaint();
public void paint(Graphics g){
super.paint(g);
g.drawString(time, 100, 75);
g.drawArc(xcenter-50, ycenter-50, 100, 100, 0, 360);
g.drawString("9", xcenter-45, ycenter+3);
g.drawString("3", xcenter+40, ycenter+3);
g.drawString("12", xcenter-5, ycenter-37);
g.drawString("6", xcenter-3, ycenter+45);
xs = (int) (Math.cos(timeS * Math.PI / 30 - Math.PI / 2) * 45 + xcenter);
ys = (int) (Math.sin(timeS * Math.PI / 30 - Math.PI / 2) * 45 + ycenter);
xm = (int) (Math.cos(timeM * Math.PI / 30 - Math.PI / 2) * 40 + xcenter);
ym = (int) (Math.sin(timeM * Math.PI / 30 - Math.PI / 2) * 40 + ycenter);
xh = (int) (Math.cos((timeH *30 + timeM / 2) * Math.PI / 180 - Math.PI / 2) * 30 + xcenter);
yh = (int) (Math.sin((timeH *30 + timeM / 2) * Math.PI / 180 - Math.PI / 2) * 30 + ycenter);
g.drawLine(xcenter, ycenter, xh, yh);
g.drawLine(xcenter, ycenter, xm, ym);
g.drawLine(xcenter, ycenter, xs, ys);
So, yeah, basically how do I display all the stuff in paint as soon as I open my applet?

Answer 1

To get best help with any problem, I recommend posting an SSCCE rather than 'part of the code'.
<http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.html>
Also, when posting code, using a little indent and [src][src] elements around it (where you would change 'src' to 'code' to show any text between the two as formatted source code) makes it a lot more readable as well.
But as a general comment on the code. It is not usually a good idea to override the paint() of a root level component, I would recommend a JComponent/JPanel instead.
The JPanel(JComponent) can then be used in the JApplet, JFrame, JDialog, JOptionPane, JWindow.. as needed.
