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:
- The "End" key starts an addition of an item.
- The "Insert" key starts the insertion of an item.
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".
