Using the Status Window
In addition to displaying information in its window, an applet can also output a message
to the status window of the browser or applet viewer on which it is running. To do so, call
showStatus( )
, which is defined by
Applet
, with the string that you want displayed. The
general form of
showStatus( )
is shown here:
void showStatus(String
msg
)
Here,
msg
is the string to be displayed.
The status window is a good place to give the user feedback about what is occurring in
the applet, suggest options, or possibly report some types of errors. The status window also
makes an excellent debugging aid, because it gives you an easy way to output information
about your applet.
