Creating an Applet User Interface

Creating a GUI

Applets use the AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) to create their graphical UIs (GUIs). Go to this section to learn about the very few issues that apply only to applets that use the AWT.

Playing Sounds

The Applet class and AudioClip interface provide support for playing sounds.

Defining and Using Applet Parameters

You can improve the versatility of your applet by providing user-definable parameters.

Reading System Properties

Applets can read some, but not all, system properties.

Displaying Short Status Strings

Applets can display short status strings on the status line of the application in which they're running.

Displaying Diagnostics to the Standard Output

When you're debugging an applet, displaying to the standard output can be an invaluable technique.
