I have not done much with applets but I assume threads work about the
same as in applications. The SwingWorker API is a great little tool for
spinning off heavy code and keeping your GUI responsive. You can get
more info on using the SwingWorker here:

hope this helps.

Subject: Threads inside actionPerformed event
Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2001 17:03:48 +0200
Hi,
I would like to know if there is any way to run a thread inside an
"actionPerformed" event. The point is to return the control after the
button
is pressed while the created thread is doing a background job. The
applet
runs the thread but doesn't return the control, and "invokeLater" is
not
available inside the event.
Example:
jButton1ActionPerformed (java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
Runnable runner = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
// HEAVY BACKGROUND PROCESSING
} catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}
}
//RETURN FASTLY CONTROL
}
Thanks
