Quick question regarding Swing objects inside of Applet

[srekcus]

I've included some code that demonstrates perfectly what I'm asking about. Everytime I try to add a swing object to an applet (JButton, JRadioButton, etc.) it only appears when the mouse moves over it. I need to know how to make it visible at all times. Thanks for any advice

Here is the start of a project I'm working on...

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class SampleAppletGUI extends JApplet {

	// applet window parameters
	private final int WIDTH = 700;
	private final int HEIGHT = 400;
	private final int DISPLAY_HEIGHT = 150;

	// swing variables
	private JButton button1;

	// double buffer variables
	private Image buffer;
	private Graphics b;

	public void init(){

		// instantiate double buffer objects
		buffer = createImage(WIDTH, HEIGHT - DISPLAY_HEIGHT);
		b = buffer.getGraphics();

		// instantiate swing objects
		button1 = new JButton("button1");
		button1.setSize(100,25);
		button1.setLocation(5, DISPLAY_HEIGHT + 5);

		Container p = getContentPane();
		p.setLayout(null);

		p.add(button1);

		// set size of applet window
		setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
	}

	public void paint(Graphics g){

		// draw graphics onto buffer image
		b.setColor(Color.RED);
		b.fillRect(0,0,WIDTH, DISPLAY_HEIGHT);

		// display buffer image to this graphics object
		g.drawImage(buffer,0,0,this);
	}

	public void update(Graphics g){
		paint(g);
	}

}

I think you might need to use g.paintChildren(); as the last line in paint() because it looks like you're painting an image over everything.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the reply. I did some looking through the API and found that Container's paintComponents() method does the trick
