Adding a Frame to an Applet Window

[Aniket Patil]

I have an applet window in which I am adding a ScrollPane.The ScrollPane has a sequencepanel that i am creating using biojava library which gives a custom sequencepanel.

The problem with this code is when the applet is created at that time nothing is visible in the applet window.

When i resize the window by dragging the edges then suddenly after some time some part of the scrollpane is visible.but not the entire one..

The code for the program is like this:

File ft = new File("C:/Documents and Settings/Abhi/apptest/src/3422_A01.ab1");
try{
ABITrace trace = new ABITrace(ft);
AbiTraceRenderer renderer = new AbiTraceRenderer();
renderer.setTrace(trace);
renderer.setDepth(300.0);
MultiLineRenderer mlr = new MultiLineRenderer();
mlr.addRenderer(new SymbolSequenceRenderer());
mlr.addRenderer(renderer);
mlr.addRenderer(new RulerRenderer());
SequencePanel sp = new SequencePanel();
sp.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
Sequence forward = SequenceTools.createSequence(
trace.getSequence(),
ft.toString(),
ft.toString(),
Annotation.EMPTY_ANNOTATION
);
sp.setSequence(SequenceTools.createSequence(
trace.getSequence(),
ft.toString(),
ft.toString(),
Annotation.EMPTY_ANNOTATION
));
SequencePanel sp2 = new SequencePanel();
sp2.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
Sequence rev = SequenceTools.reverseComplement(forward);
sp2.setSequence(rev);
sp2.setDirection(SequencePanel.HORIZONTAL);
sp2.setScale(8.0);
sp.setDirection(SequencePanel.HORIZONTAL);
sp.setScale(8.0);
sp.setRange(new RangeLocation(5,455));
sp.setRenderer(mlr);
sp2.setRange(new RangeLocation(5,455));
sp2.setRenderer(mlr);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Trace: " + ft);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
//frame.getContentPane().add(sp2);
frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(sp), BorderLayout.NORTH);
frame.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(sp2),BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
frame.setSize(800, 400);
frame.setVisible(true);
/*this.getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
this.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(sp));
this.resize(800,400);*/
/* this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
this.add(new JScrollPane(sp),BorderLayout.CENTER);
this.resize(800,400);*/
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Exception is"+ e);
}

Can anybody please give me some direction on this topic
