Class NativeInterfaceAppletHandler

java.lang.Object
  chrriis.dj.nativeswing.swtimpl.NativeInterfaceAppletHandler

public class NativeInterfaceAppletHandler
extends Object

A special helper that allows Native Swing to work in a JApplet.

Here is how to use it:

1. Add a static initializer at the top of the JApplet subclass:

static {
  NativeInterfaceAppletHandler.activateAppletMode();
}

2. Override all applet lifecycle methods to call a corresponding method of the NativeInterfaceAppletHandler as the first statement.

public void init() {
  NativeInterfaceAppletHandler.init(this);
  // Rest of init().
}
public void start() {
  NativeInterfaceAppletHandler.start(this);
  // Rest of start().
}
public void stop() {
  NativeInterfaceAppletHandler.stop(this);
  // Rest of stop().
}
public void destroy() {
  NativeInterfaceAppletHandler.destroy(this);
  // Rest of destroy().
}

3. Open the interface explicitly.
While the methods of this class do close the interface and reopen it when re-starting if it was previously open, it does not automatically open it. In most cases, one would probably change the start() method like this:

public void start() {
  NativeInterfaceAppletHandler.start(this);
  NativeInterface.open();
  // Rest of start().
}
