Re: Applet - Creating new objects from a Button Listener

Hello everyone, I'm attempting to create JComponents from when a
button is clicked. However I'm assuming I'm missing something? (Or
it's not possible)

This is some quick prototype code which shows my intentions.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;

public class myApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener{

        private JPanel buttonPanel;
        private HashMap<String,testButton> buttons;

        private testButton myButton, secondButton, thirdButton;

        public void init(){
                buttonPanel = new JPanel();
                buttons = new HashMap<String,testButton>();
                buttons.put(String.valueOf(buttons.size()),new testButton());
                buttonPanel.add(buttons.get(String.valueOf(buttons.size()-1)));
                add(buttonPanel);
        }//end init

        public void start(){
                System.out.println("START");
        }

        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
                System.out.println("Action");
        }

private class testButton extends JButton implements ActionListener{

        public testButton(){
                setText("Button "+buttons.size());
                addActionListener(this);
        }

        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
                System.out.println("Adding New Button");
                buttons.put(String.valueOf(buttons.size()),new testButton());
                buttonPanel.add(buttons.get(String.valueOf(buttons.size()-1)));
        }

}
}//end myApplet
