Hello:

I have an applet with a progress bar, but it isn´t update during the
runnning. It only update when the program finish.

How use a progress bar into applet?.

You are doing your processing inside the AWT event
dispatch thread. Calling repaint() on your
progressbar, puts an event in queue that will
be handled by the same thread. It cant pick up
the event and dispatch before you stop using
the thread yourself.

The answer is to do you processing in another
thread that you start yourself. The AWT event
dispatch thread will then be free to handle paint
events on gui components such as your progressbar.
