Components not showing in Applet

[Stanley Mungai]

I am making an Applet and After the Login, the following Form Should Show. The form is showing Properly bu the Components are not visible. Can anyone tell me why?

This is My class:

/*

package stanacle;

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Calendar;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
/**

 */
public class MenuOption extends Applet{
Label header, menu, error, user;
TextField option;
Button go;

    /**
     * Initialization method that will be called after the applet is loaded
     * into the browser.
     */
    public void init() {
       
        setSize(1024, 768);
        setLayout(null);
        header = new Label();
            menu = new Label();
            error = new Label();
            user = new Label();
            option = new TextField();
            go = new Button("GO");
            header.setBounds(370, 10, 200, 20);
            menu.setBounds(10, 60, 200, 20);
            option.setBounds(150, 60, 200, 20);
            go.setBounds(750, 10, 150, 30);
            error.setBounds(370, 310, 500, 20);
            user.setBounds(10, 10, 200, 20);
            header.setText("MENU OPTION PAGE");
            menu.setText("Enter Menu Option");
            
            
            add(header);
            add(menu);
            add(option);
            add(go);
            add(error);
            add(user);
            setVisible(true)
    }
   
}

The Button, The labels and the TextField Are not visible.

Your setVisible() call should be last. Otherwise you can try validate() or revalidate().

[Darryl Burke]

Actually, an Applet doesn't need a setVisible(true) at all.

Additionally, you need to learn how to use layout managers: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html

It's good practice to remove inane IDE generated comments and your own comments that aren't relevant to the stated problem before posting here; anything extraneous just adds clutter.

Guys I actually Do not think This is the Problem because the Applet Shows all The components on its own. I think It is how I am calling it from the Login Class. I used This Method

MenuOption page = new MenuOption();
                        
                        page.setVisible(true); 

Is this enough to make the Applet start or there s something I am Misiing??

[Campbell Ritchie]

Have you altered the original code to remove the setVisible call? You mustn’t do that.

[Stanley Mungai]

I was FOllowing Burke's Advice, But My Issue is that When the Applet is run On its own, the components displays. It is Suppossed to be started after Login from another Applet. What I a Getting is a blank Form.

Returned the SetVisible(true) function....Nothing

I didn’t mean the code you are using, I meant the code you had posted. Sorry for not being clear. You mustn’t change the code in a post after it has been answered.
