Hello,
I am running an applet from IE. The applet does things in the background. But, I am displaying a progress monitor to indicate the progress of the work that is being done.
I want only the progress monitor to be displayed and want the other (parent) window be minimized? How do I do that? ie. Can I get the handle of the window that contains the applet and minimize it? Or better, can have the progress monitor embeded in the browser?
Thanks,
Bala.

What "window" are you talking about? Most applets don't run in an external window like a JFrame or Frame. Most applets run directly inside the Web Browser.

Gregg,
I am refering to the browser window that has the applet/object tag.
When the applet is running, that window stays. I like to minimize/close/be able to put some messages on to that window.
Thanks,
Bala.

You aren't going to be able to do this from just a regular Applet...

You're going to have to use something like LiveConnect by Netscape.

This question really belongs in the Applets forum... I'm moving it there.
