How to show a textbox, button, etc in a Java Applet?

Question

How can I show common GUI elements such as :

• Textbox
• Button
• Radios/Dropdowns
• Labels

etc in a java applet which would be run from a web browser?

Answer 1

This applet tutorial starts from the beginning, and covers GUI components .

There are plenty of other applet tutorials around of course, almost all of which will cover GUI work.

Answer 2

Do you really need it to be an applet? Laying out a nice GUI with a java applet and swing is a pain, and javascript has advanced dramatically in speed and compatibility since the early years. There are very few reasons an actual java applet is needed anymore.

Answer 3

JApplet和JFrame都扩展了Container ，因此您只需像在其他任何Swing GUI中一样设置布局并添加组件即可。
