Hi
How can one convert his existing application which uses JFrames and a main method() to an Applet which extends JApplet and invokes init()?
Perhaps I could write a small applet which creates an instance of my application but my application uses it's own frames and GUI.How do I make them appear through the applets frame?
Hi qperdikea,
Yes, but the difference is not that important once you know what's going on. Applets are closely related to Panels and JPanels. They're all subclasses of Container and you can put one inside the other. The short answer is, make a JTree, put it in a JScrollPane to make it scrollable (use the constructor new JScrollPane( aJTree )), put that in a JPanel (use method add()), and use setContentPane() to make that JPanel the content pane for the JApplet. Or if you're using Applet, you can just use add(), I think.
So wherever they put something in a JFrame in the application example, you just put it in your JApplet instead and it ought to work. You can even make main still work as an application if you have main put a new
version of your applet into a JFrame and pack it and make it visible, etc. all the stuff that the example does with the Jframe.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks
