How do I display message in browser status bar?
Category: java.applet, viewed: 758 time(s).
In this applet example you'll see how to display a message in browser status bar. To make the example a little bit more interesting we'll display the current time as the message. The time will be update every on second during the life time of the applet.
package org.kodejava.example.applet;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
public class TimeApplet extends Applet implements Runnable {
private DateFormat formatter = null;
private Thread t = null;
public void init() {
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("hh:mm:ss");
t = new Thread(this);
}
public void start() {
t.start();
}
public void stop() {
t = null;
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Date now = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
//
// Show the current time on the browser status bar
//
this.showStatus(formatter.format(now));
}
public void run() {
int delay = 1000;
try {
while (t == Thread.currentThread()) {
//
// Repaint the applet every on second
//
repaint();
Thread.sleep(delay);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
