After I made an Applet than works just fine, I read something how swing is better and all. Should I be using JApplet from now on or are there situations when Applet is preferable to JApplet?
@ray326May 18.2005 — #I'm not sure about the resources but AWT (Applet) widgets are the widgets of the native host GUI. Swing (JApplet) widgets are Java graphics and behaviour so they can look like any of the various predefined "looks" (metal, windows, mac,...) or you can define your own look using the published API.
@Khalid_AliMay 18.2005 — #I'm not sure about the resources .....[/QUOTE] an easy solution for that will be to search on google and read some information about the differences between the 2.
@ray326May 18.2005 — #I know the differences but if "light/heavy" supposedly refer to resources required then they are misnomers. Lightweight widgets generally require more machine resources (i.e. additional resources) than heavyweight widgets. Why, because the latter are already loaded and in use by the environment and are available to be shared by all applications. Lightweight widgets are not sharable between applications and take graphics resources above and beyond what was already sitting there for the app to use.
@Khalid_AliMay 19.2005 — #I don't have the energy to quarrel with some one who is as rigid as you( just reading ur last message shows that where u are not saying anything different then what I said but in diff words).
It was not my pleasure to write this message nor I want to continue.
