applet frame

[Matthijs Blaas]

Hi All,

Im expiriencing weird behaviour with JRE1.5 and a applet frame I'm using. On
Jre's <1.5 it works ok, but with the JRE1.5 the applet window will lose
focus imediatly after it pops up... I've put a little example online at:
http://www.virtual-boy.org/applet/frame.html

Source files:
http://www.virtual-boy.org/applet/Test.java (this class it's about, it
instanciates the frame and requests its focus)
http://www.virtual-boy.org/applet/Frm.java (the frame's class)

I have less experience with frames launched from applets, but I
*suspect* that it is foolhardy to depend on *any* 'default' behaviour.

You might try using setAlwaysOnTop (1.5+), or starting a thread
that brings the Frame to front every nn milliseconds.

BTW. A better group for such matters is..

While searching for more info about that method I found another one:
toFront()
I just call toFront() when the window listner receives a windowDeactivated
event. A nice side-effect is that if you click next to the frame it will
still stay on top.
