I have managed to locate a tutorial that explains in a way that I understand how to create an applet in netbeans.
however I cannot find one that enables you to convert a current completed application in netbeans to an applet.Code:http://blogs.sun.com/pc/entry/how_to_create_applet_with
Can anyone suggest any apart from netbeans.
Thanks in advance
Does your netbeans application subclass JFrame? If so, re-write it so that it subclasses JPanel (or better, produces a JPanel). Then you can place this JPanel into a JFrame or a JApplet as you desire.
I have to admit you have lost me, my application is structured using a number of classes with a Main and a Jpanel gui.
Does this answer what you are asking me
We are not actually being taught java, apparently the methodology is more important, education in the uk is so wonderful!
i suppose it's a trade off for your class, then. when in class, would you rather learn a specific shortcut to convert a swing app into an applet, or actually learn concepts that will help you organize your thoughts, encourage you to research more, and overall make you a better programmer?
I would prefer the having some idea of what we are doing rather than just going through the motions however I am trying to pick up more information regarding Java but this is as well as doing the work required.
Have a method that creates the GUI and returns a JPanel. Have your main class subclass JApplet. Then use init() to add the JPanel to getContentPane() and use main() to add the JPanel to a new JFrame.
Bingo - an applet and an application
Yep, I agree 100% with OrangeDog. Creating your GUI this way will give you loads of flexibility. Shoot you can even place your GUI into the JPanel of another GUI if you so desire.
Ok thanks, if I have any problems 'I will be back'
