Here is a part of code for the Applet:

PopupMenu popList[];
Label lblList[];

public void update(Graphics g)
{
Rectangle rect = getBounds();
g.setColor(clrDefault);

g.fillRect(0, 0, rect.width, rect.height);
g.draw3DRect(rect.x+3,rect.y+3, 2,rect.height-9, true);
g.draw3DRect(rect.x+6,rect.y+3, 2,rect.height-9, true);

for (int i = 0; i < lblList.length; i++)
{
rect = lblList[i].getBounds();
if (i == idxHighlight)
g.draw3DRect(rect.x-1,rect.y-1, rect.width+2,rect.height+2, true);
if (i == idxPressed)
{

g.draw3DRect(rect.x-1,rect.y-1, rect.width+2,rect.height+2, false);

if (bMenuUp == false)
{
bMenuUp = true;
if (bolDisplayImage && imageX > 0) {
g.drawImage(imageLine, imageX, imageY+2, this);
g.drawImage(imageSetup1, imageX+10, imageY, this);
}
popList[i].show(this, rect.x, rect.y+rect.height+1);
}
}
}

if (bolDisplayImage) {
imageX = rect.x + rect.width+2;
imageY = rect.y;
g.drawImage(imageLine, imageX, imageY+2, this);
if (bolOnMouseOver) {
g.drawImage(imageSetup2, imageX+10, imageY, this);
setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
} else {
g.drawImage(imageSetup1, imageX+10, imageY, this);
setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor());
}
}
}

someone please help?

Thanks
