Jframe inside C# form

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to add a Java JFrame into a container inside a C# form. The JFrame I have is implementing a AppletStub aswell, and I've used IKVM to do the interopting, but the problem I get is that the Applet loaded in the AppletStub freezes. But it works perfect fine when its not interopting with C#. This is the only thing I'm doing btw, trying to load that JFrame into my C# form, and pass 2 integer values to the JFrame. Please let me know if there is a simple solution to do this...?

Also, let me know if this will be alot more easier in C++ rather then C#, so I can just do Java -> C++ -> C# ~ Thanks

Hmm, this is a little odd.

Maybe a lame trick could be to put the applet in as HTML inside a relevant C# control?

I suspect that you may be having problems with the IKVM/Swing idea of what the UI thread is clashing with the WinForms idea ditto -- code that tried to perform WinForms UI operations on the wrong thread usually end up manifesting as frozen UI. I've not delved into the internals of the IKVM GUI implementation to be able to hazard a work-around (last time I tried UI stuff in IKVM, it was abundantly clear that this was not a priority for that project).
