Graphics in Java.URGENT...

[Jitendran]

Hi All,

I am using Jdk 1.1.6 on Solaris V2.6

My problem is I am drawing graphics using java on a window. I am drawing

triangles and rectangles randomly. Now when i execute this the window on

which i am drawing pops up. I am executing this from a frame. that is when i

click on the menu item inside the frame this window pops up. Now I want to

actually go back to the frame in between. What happens is when this window

gets activated it takes all the controls. I tried using FocusListeners but they

are not working.

Can anyone say me how to go about it. Its urgent and i request u all to

give suggestions.

Bye,

Jitu.

Hi jitendran,


I have tried with some test code about ur problem.But it works fine for me on

windows95.if u need more help,pl rehrase ur question or send me the code.

Here is a part of it..

class Frame1 extends Frame

{

// controls added here

// inner class for events form menuitems

class SymAction implements java.awt.event.ActionListener

{

public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)

{

Object object = event.getSource();



if (object == open)

open_Action(event);// open is a button to invoke the other frame

else if (object == OpenDilaog)

OpenDilaog_Action(event);// opendialog is a menuitem to invoke the other frame

}

}


void open_Action(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)

{

// to do: code goes here.

Frame2 f = new Frame2();

f.setSize(200,200);

f.show();

f.repaint();

}



public static void main(String args[])

{

Frame1 f = new Frame1();

f.show();

}


void OpenDilaog_Action(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)

{

// to do: code goes here.

Frame2 f = new Frame2();

f.setSize(200,200);

f.show();

f.repaint();

}

}// class Frame1 ends here


// another window(frame) where the rectangle is drawn

class Frame2 extends Frame

{

public void paint(Graphics g)

{

g.drawRect(100,100,20,20);

}

}

Dear Thiru,

Thanks for the prompt response. What u said is correct because the code which

I have written also works on Windows. The problem comes in Solaris. I suppose

Focus Listeners work in a hapazard manner on Solaris.

Regarding the question it is that i have a main frame(parent). In this frame

I have a menu on a menu bar. when i click the menu the graphics window pops up.

It is not a frame. It is a window. The reason why i needed a window is we don't

want the borders. In the case of a frame it is not possible to remove the

borders.

Currently I have deviced a solution. What i am doing now is on the right click of mouse i am calling back to so that i can go to the frame.

Bye,

Jitu.
