How to access?

[Robert Ploch]

Hi
Imagine i had these classes:
class myApplet extends JApplet{
JPanel x = new myPanel();
JPanel y = new my2Panel();
}
class myPanel extends JPanel {
JButton button = new JButton();
}

class my2Panel extends JPanel {
draw();
}

Now when a user hits the button in myPanel, can i directly access the draw-method in my2Panel?
I would try using the getContentPane()-method, but dont know if it works and how...
Is it possible?
Maybe this diagram would help, this is the big brother of the situation described above:

(in the diagram it is Gui=myApplet and the surrounding Panels are myPanel,my2Panel and so on)
With regards

If you define your draw method as:

 
public static void draw() { }
 

You could do my2Panel.draw().

Your other option would be to do something like:

class myApplet extends JApplet
{
    JPanel y = new my2Panel();
    JPanel x = new myPanel(y);
}
 
------------------------------------------
 
class myPanel extends JPanel 
{
    JPanel p;
    public myPanel(JPanel panel)
    {
        this.p = panel;
    }
    JButton button = new JButton();
    button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
    {
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
       {
            p.draw();
       }
    });
}
 
------------------------------------------
 
class my2Panel extends JPanel 
{
    public void draw();
}

And this way would probably be preferred.
