[SOLVED] Resizable applet

[c0elh0]

Hi all, I'm new here and this is my 1st post. Hope you can help me, and I'll do the same if I can...

I was wondering why JApplet's don't have the method setResizable(boolean)?
I want to make it setResizable(false)... Anyone can tell me why I can't do it?

My 1st applet project so.. :)

Thanks

Can you show your code, to see what you have done.

Are you talking about changing the size (WIDTH & HEIGHT in the <APPLET tag) in the HTML that the applet is being displayed in?
I'm not sure you can do that without recreating the HTML with the new values. Or at least you couldn't a couple of years ago.

I have this code for this JApplet.

this. getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        areaScreen.setEditable(false);
        areaScreen.setFont(new Font("", Font.BOLD, 60));
        areaScreen.setForeground(Color.DARK_GRAY);
        areaScreen.setText("eTraveler Demonstrator");
        areaScreen.setBackground(Color.BLACK);

        upperPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        upperPanel.add(areaScreen,BorderLayout.CENTER);
        upperPanel.setBackground(Color.BLACK);

        BtnNext.setText("Biographic Data");
        BtnNext.addActionListener(this);

        BtnPrevious.setText("Back");
        BtnPrevious.addActionListener(this);
        BtnPrevious.setVisible(false);

        BtnAction.setText("Capture");
        BtnAction.addActionListener(this);
        BtnAction.setVisible(false);

        BtnClose.setText("Close");
        BtnClose.addActionListener(this);
        BtnClose.setVisible(true);

   
        midPanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        midPanel.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
        lowerPanel.setBackground(Color.BLACK);

        lowerPanel.add(BtnPrevious);
        lowerPanel.add(BtnAction);
        lowerPanel.add(BtnNext);
        lowerPanel.add(BtnClose);

        getContentPane().add(upperPanel,BorderLayout.NORTH);
        getContentPane().add(midPanel,BorderLayout.CENTER);
        getContentPane().add(lowerPanel,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

        Dimension scSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
        Dimension aux = new Dimension(scSize.width,scSize.height-110);
        this.setSize(aux);
        this.getContentPane().setVisible(true);

The problem is, I can't see any method like this.setResizable(false).
Is that a feature of Applet's??

I think he is talking about the applet viewer. Actually on the applet viewer too, you cannot do that. But you can change the size, width and height.

[c0elh0]

Like JFrame has a method setResizable(boolean), I was thinking that applet could have the same method...

On the applet viewer you cannot do that. I think you are talking about the applet viewer, is that right?

[c0elh0]

Do you know why that can't be done? just to know... I'll try to find another solution to my situation.
Thanks

[c0elh0]

yes, that's it

[Eranga]

Reason is, applets are embedded with HTML pages. Once you define the size of the applet you cannot change anyway. Basically it's all about Encapsulation, no need to allow unwanted methods for users.

[c0elh0]

I get it, in fact it's very logical.
Thanks a lot.

Glad to help you!
