我正在尝试在我的方法中使用小程序

Question

I am creating a crossword puzzle program that displays the crossword through applet. I'm attempting to create a method that will allow the user to enter his/her desired word. I call this enterWord() My issue comes in when I try to implement applet into it. I want my enterWord() method to allow the user to put in their newWord , the x coordinate and the y coordinate.

How can I change this code:

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.applet.Applet;


public class crosswordMain extends Applet {

    String word;
    int wordlen;    

    public crosswordMain(){        
    }

    public void enterWord(String newWord, int xCoordinate, int yCoordinate){
        word = newWord;
        public void paint(Graphics g){            
            g.drawString(newWord, xCoordinate, yCoordinate);
        }
    }    

}

To make it work? The issue comes at the public void paint(Graphics g){ part.

Any help would be great! Thanks!

Answer 1

You cannot define a method inside another method in Java.
To implement this,you could:
1. Create a TextField and store it in a global variable.
TextField inputLine = new TextField(15);
2. Next,simply add this input string inside your drawString method like this:
g.drawString(inputLine,x,y)
