Hi,

I have an applet which has a canvas added to it. On this canvas I draw all
my images/ app output. I've created my own lightweight component (popup)
which shows a popup on the screen and listens for mousevents.

The problem that I have is that when I add the canvas to the applet, I
cannot receive any events in my custom components (when I add them to the
applet container without the canvas it works just fine). I believe that this
is because when a heavycomponent (canvas) overlaps a lightweight component
(my popup) it will "steal" all events from being delivered to the
lightweight comp.

Is there any way around this? (I can't use swing because I have to stick to
awt1.1 Sad

)
I also have to use the canvas (for use with bufferstrategy if available on
the user's jvm)

Thanks in advance!
