Re: [Tm4j-tmnav-dev] running tmnav on applet

[Christoph F. <cf...@fo...>]

Hi Rinalldo,

I've never developed an applet  so I'm just guessing, but I think that
you are on the right track. TMNav creates on startup a JFrame that is
used as its base container. 

I just had a look at the code and I think it shouldn't be too difficult
to make TMnav use a given java.awt.Container to use at its base
container. If it turns out to be fruitful, I would do a refactoring, to
enable the use of TMNav as an applet. 

Nevertheless, some questions come to my mind:

When developing an applet, are you creating the basic container by your
own, or is it provided by the enviroment (browser, appletviewer)?

What is about Menubars in applets. Are they supported?

TMnav sometimes opens new frames for some features. (TologQuery, several
dialogs). How do you deal with the concepts of opening dialogs in
applets. I think you are not allowed to open a window from an applet, or
are you? 


Hmm. I'm not really decided, whether it is possible to refactor TMNav
without extravagant expenses. What do you think?

bye

PS: If your sole target is to get xtm displayed as a graph in an applet,
you may have a look a Jens Kaschniks Hypergraph-Project (for kings &
queens: http://hypergraph.sourceforge.net/examples_tm_kaq.html)
