threads and panels?

[DivideByZero]

How can I use threads and panels?

"public class ThreadProg extends Thread"

"public class ThreadProg extends Panel"

How can I combine it?


these don't work:
public class ThreadProg extends Thread, Panel
public class ThreadProg extends Thread extends Panel

donno how to solve it, but java only permits a class to inherit one thing.

you could use runnable like i do working with gui's I suppose i could write a demo when i have some time later today.

You could use the following

public class ThreadProg extends Panel implements Thread

implements doesnt mean the same as extends but in some cases its very useful

[acwclassic]

as reniery said it works about the same. when you extend it mean you can use the functions direcly. when you implement you need to have the functions in your class (and you need all of them even the ones you dont use, but you can leave them empthy).
another way could be to use an inner class. the class can reach all the methods in your inner class.
