public class AWTFrameController
extends AWTController

AWTFrameController is a version of AWTController intended to make it possible to run a controller outside the context of an applet viewer as appropriate with environments like BlueJ and Dr. Java. An AWTFrameController creates a frame, then runs the controller in that frame.

Version:
1.1.2 released July 2006

Constructor Detail

AWTFrameController

public AWTFrameController()
Constructs a new FrameController. This makes a Frame and runs the controller in the new Frame

Method Detail

init

public void init()
Set an instance variable so that paint will know whether or not the controller has been initialized. Then, invoke the standard init method.

Overrides:
init in class AWTController

paint

public void paint(java.awt.Graphics g)
This method is overriden to simulate the initialization of applets when a controller is actually run by simply creating an instance of the object. The runInFrame method is used to place the controller object in a frame. Then, the first time the system asks the controller to paint its contents on the screen by calling paint, we invoke the init and start methods to initiate the execution of the controller. This cannot be safely done by runInFrame since it is invoked by the AWTFrameController constructor which will execute before the programmer's instance variable initialization expressions have been evaluated.

Parameters:
g - the graphics context for this component
