Hi,
Below is the sample code of the applets communication:
[Applet1_0022.java] import java.awt.*;
public class Applet1_0022 extends java.applet.Applet {
TextField inputText;
Button b;
public void init() {
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
inputText = new TextField( "", 15 );
b = new Button("Send to Applet 2");
add(inputText);
add(b);
}
// JDK 1.02 style evant handling
public boolean action(Event ev, Object arg) {
if (ev.target instanceof Button) {
String textMsg = inputText.getText().trim();
Applet2_0022 applet2 =
(Applet2_0022)getAppletContext().getApplet("applet2");
if ( applet2 != null ) {
applet2.append( textMsg );
return true;
}
else {
System.out.println("Applet2 not found?");
return false;
}
}
return false;
}
}
[Applet2_0022.java] import java.awt.*;
public class Applet2_0022 extends java.applet.Applet {
TextArea textBox;
public void init() {
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
textBox = new TextArea( 5, 40 );
add( textBox );
}
public void append( String msg ) {
textBox.append( msg );
textBox.append( "\n" );
}
}
