calling JFrame in JApplet

[Beena Thomas]

Hi
Is it possible to call a JFrame inside a JApplet and how is it.
When i tried it is showing java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: adding a window to a container.

Can anyone help me with this
Thanks

Hi Beena,
Yes you can create a new JFrame from within a JApplet.

public void init()
{
  JFrame f = new JFrame();
  f.getContainerPane().setSize( 100, 100 );
  f.setVisible( true );
}

Will do it. However, your error seems to relate to you trying to place a Frame into an Applet. This is not allowed because an Applet is a container while a Frame is a window. If you just want a container inside an APplet then you should use a Panel.
Regards,
Manfred.

Thanks Manfred.
If that is the case is it possible to use an instance of JPanel having a JFileChooser added to its contentpane get displayed in a JApplet.
I would appreciate your response
