Double Buffered Applet conflict.

[Ed Dana]

Hi All,

I have a program I'm working on that draws Sonic the Hedgehog and makes
him run around in circles on the JApplet. It implements KeyListener and
Runnable.

All images are being drawn on a canvas, and work fine. However, whenever
I add the canvas to the the JApplet using "this.getContentPane( canvas
)" the KeyListeners stop working.

Java! It is making me cRAzY!!!

Any clues greatly appreciated.

Ed.

Oops! I'm using this statement to add the canvas:
"this.getContentPane().add( canvas )"

Stupid Keyboard!

Posting the code isn't necessary. The problem is very simple. I have an
Applet. I add key listeners, they respond when I test them.

Those very same KeyListeners suddenly stop working after adding a Canvas.

I think this is a focus/scope issue. If I add listeners to the Canvas,
the Canvas listeners get called. I remove the canvas, the Applet
listeners get called.

So, how do I keep the canvas while still getting the applet key
listeners to respond?
