Making Run-Time Changes to an Applet

When you are running an applet in the IDE's Applet Viewer, you can edit the applet's source code and then see the results of your changes immediately. 

To make a change to a running applet:

  1. While the applet is still running, open the Workbench or a browser and find the program element you want to change.  Select it to view its source code.
  2. Change the source code as needed.
  3. Save the changes by pressing Ctrl+S or Alt+S.
  4. Go to the Applet Viewer.  Select Reload from the Applet menu.

The applet will start running at the beginning, with the new change incorporated.
