User Feedback using Applet

[Yatin Shah]

Hello All,

I would like to create user feedback frame using applet. Please check mu code here with your reference.

import java.io.*;
import java.applet.*;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;


public class AppletFeedback extends JApplet
{
  private JPanel nPanel, sPanel, ePanel, wPanel, mainPanel, bPanel1, bPanel2, bPanel3;
  private TextArea ta;
  
  private JLabel uName, uComment, bLabel1, bLabel2, bLabel3;
  private JTextField UserName, UserComment;

  FileReader fr;
  BufferedReader br;

  String UserString;
  public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
        //... Create an initialize the applet.
        JApplet theApplet = new AppletFeedback();
        
        //... Create a window (JFrame) and make applet the content pane.
        JFrame window = new JFrame("User Feedback");
        window.setContentPane(theApplet);
        window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        window.pack();              // Arrange the components.
        window.setSize(800,600);
        window.setVisible(true);    // Make the window visible.
  }

  public AppletFeedback() 
  {
    Container contentPane = getContentPane();
    contentPane.add(nPanel = new JPanel(), BorderLayout.NORTH);
    contentPane.add(ePanel = new JPanel(), BorderLayout.EAST);
    contentPane.add(wPanel = new JPanel(), BorderLayout.WEST);
    contentPane.add(sPanel = new JPanel(), BorderLayout.SOUTH);

    Color c = new Color(128,255,255);
    Color bc = new Color(0,64,128);

    nPanel.setBackground(bc);
    wPanel.setBackground(bc);
    ePanel.setBackground(bc);
    sPanel.setBackground(bc);

    JButton ok = new JButton("OK");
    ok.setBackground(bc);
    ok.setFont(new Font("Courier New",Font.BOLD, 18));
    ok.setForeground(c);
    ok.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_O);
    
    JButton cancle = new JButton("CANCLE");
    cancle.setBackground(bc);
    cancle.setFont(new Font("Courier New",Font.BOLD, 18));
    cancle.setForeground(c);
    cancle.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_C); 

    MyMainEventHandlerDesign handler = new MyMainEventHandlerDesign(this);
    
    sPanel.add(ok);
    sPanel.add(cancle);

    ok.addActionListener(handler);
    cancle.addActionListener(handler);
    
    contentPane.add(mainPanel=new JPanel(),BorderLayout.CENTER);
   // mainPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));
    
    Font addFont = new Font("Courier New", Font.BOLD, 12);

    uName=new JLabel("Enter Your Name:");
    uName.setFont(addFont);
    
    UserName=new JTextField(30);

    mainPanel.add(uName);
    mainPanel.add(UserName);
    
    uComment=new JLabel("Comment:");
    uName.setFont(addFont);
    
    UserComment=new JTextField(40);
    
    mainPanel.add(uComment);
    mainPanel.add(UserComment);

 /*   pubilc void doitnow()
    {
      if(msg.equals("OK"))
      {  
        f=new NewServerEntry("Add a Server",this);
        f.show();
        badd.setEnabled(false);
        bedit.setEnabled(false);  
        bdelete.setEnabled(false);
        bexit.setEnabled(false);
      }

      else if(msg.equals("CANCLE"))
      {  
        System.exit(0);
      }
    
    }
  */
  }
  
class MyMainEventHandlerDesign implements ActionListener
{
  AppletFeedback af;
  
  public MyMainEventHandlerDesign(AppletFeedback ob)
  {
    af=ob;
  }
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
  {
    String msg=(String)ae.getActionCommand();
   // af.msg=msg;
    //af.doitnow();
  }
}


}

I am trying to put some blank label on panel to enter blank line form top before “Enter Your Name” label and also “Comment” label appear after some blank line. Textfield for Comment must have scroll bar for Vertical access etc.

Is any one help me to achieve this task?

Thanking You,
Yatin

What does the code do now, and how does that deviate from what you intend to achieve? In other words, where and how are you stuck making progress?

Hello Ulf Dittmer,

Thanks for your reply. My code is showing frame having all components in one line rather than in seprate line. Check my updated code here with:

Try using a FlowLayout or a GridLayout instead.

[Yatin Shah]

Hi,

I tried both way. Not working. Anything else will work?

Thanking You,
Yatin

[Paul Clapham]

That very much depends on what "not working" means.

Since I don't understand what "on seprate line" means, I can't suggest anything specific. However I do suggest that instead of just posting a lot of code, you should instead try to explain what you want to see. In more detail than that.
