could anybody tell me(novice) how to use repaint method in java console programe(not in applet).when to use repaint and when to use update method and why. could u pls write me a prorgame which has a button that draw something upon being pressed on the frame. what is the problem with my following code which is a simple clock(no compile error but doesnt show the time)-

import java.util.*;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class Clock extends Frame implements Runnable
{

public void run() {
Thread myThread = Thread.currentThread();
while (myThread !=null) {
repaint();
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e){

}
}
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
// get the time and convert it to a date
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
Date date = cal.getTime();
// format it and display it
DateFormat dateFormatter = DateFormat.getTimeInstance();
g.drawString(dateFormatter.format(date), 5, 10);
}
//public void update(Graphics g)
//{ paint(g) ; }

Clock(){

setBounds(300,200,200,200);
setVisible(true);

}
public static void main(String str[])
{
Clock myclock=new Clock();
Thread myThread=new Thread(myclock);
myThread.start();

reformat your code using the java tags as shown on the right side of the input field, then someone might actually read it.

Hi,
I believe you are not able to display the clock because the frame component doesn't have a body implementation.
it is possible to display on the title bar of the frame using the setTitle method.
I would suggest you extend the Clock class from Applet.
Since I am a novice, I am not sure of this. If you do manage to implement please do let me know. :). Bye.
