Hi Sjalle, I tried running your code, the compilation is ok, but the applet wont start with the ff error:

java.lang.ClassCastException

thanks

You are not running my code. I posted an application, not an applet,
and there is no place in that application where a class cast is even attempted.

Ooopppss, sorry Sjalle, my fault, too many windows and I compiled the wrong code. Sorry, your application is running great...

thanks and my apologies...
