problem with drawstring

Posted by Glenn Olshefsky on November 09, 2001 at 10:46 PM

When I envoke an instance of the following class, the program freezes on the drawString command. I am using this class in a stand alone application. Any thoughts?

class taction extends Canvas {
Dimension size = new Dimension(150,480);
String[] fnames = new String[100];
int curfile = 1;
int i=1;

public void startup(String[] fns) {
fnames = fns;
}

public void findcur(int j) {
curfile = j;
}

public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return getMinimumSize(); }
public Dimension getMinimumSize() {
return size; }

public void paint(Graphics g) {
update(g);
}
public void update (Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawRect(3,3,145,475);
g.drawRect(4,4,143,473);

while (fnames[i-1] != null) {
if (i==curfile) g.setColor(Color.blue);
else g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawString(fnames[i-1],10,i*20);
i++;
}
}
}

Thanks.
