public class MyWindow { public MyWindow() {} public void init() { //initialize your components like Textfields } public void draw() { //Draw things like Text which aren't a component } public boolean handleKey(char ch) { for(Component comp : getComponents()) { comp.handleKey(ch); } return false; } public boolean handleClick(Mouse mouse) { return false; } }
