RE: [ajug-members]: Wait()

["Cody Wehunt" <cody@wehunt.net>]

I am new to JAVA, so please bare with me.  If you don't use
Thread.sleep(long) for displaying a wait screen, what would you recommend
doing to have a form displayed for 30 seconds then show a new window?  Also,
the hide and show functions do not seem to work.  I thought you could just
use splash.hide(); and fserver.show();, but that will not compile.

Any help would really be appreciated,

What I have so far:

public static void main(String args[]) {
      
        new fserver().hide();
        new splash().show();
        wait 30 seconds
        try {
            Thread.sleep(300); // milliseconds
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {} 
        new splash.hide();
        new fserver().show();
    }

You don't need to include anything since Thread is in the java.lang package.

Please note, that you really shouldn't use Thread.sleep(long) for displaying
a wait screen to a user as this would be a UI function. Usually, I've found
most of the time when you think you need a Thread.sleep() call, you really
don't (or shouldn't).
