Notes and tips

Setting a URL

AppletPainter URL's are like normal URL's. They need to be prefixed by the protocol eg. 'http://' for an internet link. If the URL is relative to the current page then no URL need be specified as in a normal webpage. If the URL is an absolute file path on the local file system them it needs to be prefixed with 'file:' eg. 'file:c:\MyDocuments\MyFile.html'

Key shortcuts

Where a component has mutiple items such as a List box then the following keys are used as shortcuts:

Text addition problems

Occasionally AppletPainter will get confused about where the text that's being typed is to go. A button might be highlighted but typed text isn't going into the buttons label. This is because the component doesn't "have focus". If this happens then click again on the component to which the text should go and this should make sure the component "has focus".
