Java'sGraphical User Interface

Toolkit

Windows, Applets and all that Swings.


What is Swing?

A

Swing

Tour


The Agenda

A Tour of Swing

Display A Simple Window from main()

Display A Window from an Object

Display an Object that is a Window

Display an Applet Object

Laying out Display Components

Making Buttons and Stuff Work


Starting with an Example

The

Basic

Window


The Basic JFrameimport javax.swing.*;

class BasicJFrame { public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame jf = new JFrame("The Basic JFrame"); jf.setSize(250,250); jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); jf.setVisible(true); }}


jf = new JFrame("The Basic JFrame")

Setting the title with the constructor.


jf.setSize(250, 250)

250 pixels

250

pixe

ls


jf.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

Causes the thread for the JFrameto terminate when window closed.


jf.setVisible(true);


import javax.swing.*;

class BasicJFrame { public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame jf = new JFrame("The Basic JFrame"); jf.setSize(250,250); jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); jf.setVisible(true); }}

Adding The JPanelimport javax.swing.*;

class DoJPanel { public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame jf = new JFrame("The Basic JFrame"); jf.setSize(250,250); jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); JPanel jp = new JPanel(); jf.getContentPane().add(jp); jf.setVisible(true); }}


class DoJPanel { public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame jf = new JFrame("The Basic JFrame"); jf.setSize(250,250); jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); JPanel jp = new JPanel(); jf.getContentPane().add(jp); jf.setVisible(true); }}


jf.getContentPane()


Jpanel jp = new Jpanel();jf.getContentPane().add(jp);

JPanel


Top Level Containers

• JFrame

• JDialog

• JApplet

• JWindow

• JInternalFrame


How do I Build a Display Object?

An Object That

Displays a

Window

as members here.

How Do I Make an Object Visible?

Making an

Object

Display Itself


A Change in Structure

• MyWindow– Creates a JFrame Object– Fills it With Other GUI Objects– Displays the Finished JFrame

• MyWindow2– Is a JFrame Object– Fill Itself With Other GUI Objects– MyWindow Displays Itself

How Do I Display an Object On the Web?

Building

an

Applet


What the Browser Expects in an Applet

• public void init()

• public void start()

• public void stop()

• public void destroy()

• First (one) Time Initialization

• Called when the Applet becomes visible

• Called when the Applet becomes hidden

• Called when Applet is unloaded

Applet Limitations

• Can't Read or Write Local Disk

• Download Every Use– Should package in a .jar file

• Can only communicate with host that is the source of the Applet.


Applet Strengths

• Distributes Processing Load to Client

• No Installation Issues

• Mistakes can't cause damage to client

Layout

Managers


Layout Managers• Dynamic

– A method performs positioning

• A Callback– You provide reference to class that implements an

interface

• JDK Provides six Layout Managers– FlowLayout– GridLayout– BorderLayout– BoxLayout– GridBagLayout – Absolute Positioning (null Layout Manager)
