A lot of the classes like List, TextField etc. need a container which can be
a form or a window. where do I get this variable from inside my applet
subclass ?

Hello Sven,
I don't know if it's a good idea to do it, but you can always access the
applet's item.parent, which is a DisplayItemWindow. so whitin an applet you
could address this window with this.item.parent .
I experienced some trouble with that using hot java:
- if you open a window in this window, it doesn't scroll (while a button does).
- you must explicitly get rid of the windows and things you create in the stop
(or destroy, both?) method using "myWindow.dispose()".
- If you've created more than one object, you should dispose of them in the
reverse order you created them, otherwise only the first is deleted.
btw, if you found a solution to this already, I'd be happy to get it.
have fun,
Lein Ton
