Sun Swing Tutorial

ƒ Buttons: Show a variety of buttons.

To run, we may use one of the following methods:

¾ % appletviewer Buttons.java

¾ % appletviewer ButtonsFrame.html

¾ % java Buttons

¾ Use any internet browser and open: ButtonsFrame.html

BASIC COMPONENTS

¾ Buttons

JButton b1 = new JButton("Button 1"); b1.setBackground(Color.red); b2.setEnabled(false);

¾ Lables

JLabel labl1 = new JLabel("TextField t1"); labl1.setText("Hello");

¾ TextFields

JTextField t1 = new JTextField(30);

String s = new String(); s = t1.getText(); s = t1.getSelectedText(); t1.setText(" ");

¾ TextAreas

JTextArea t = new JTextArea(5, 20); t.setText(t.getText()+ "Old Dominion University \n");

¾ CheckBoxs

JCheckBox cb1 = new JCheckBox("Check Box 1"); if(cb.isSelected()) ..

¾ RadioButtons

ButtonGroup g = new ButtonGroup(); JRadioButton rb1 = new JRadioButton("one", false); g.add(rb1);

¾ ComboBoxes

JComboBox c = new JComboBox(); c.addItem(description[count++]); c.getSelectedIndex(); c.getSelectedItem());

¾ Lists

DefaultListModel lItems=new DefaultListModel(); JList lst = new JList(lItems); lItems.addElement(flavors[count++]); Object[] items=lst.getSelectedValues();

¾ Borders

JPanel jp = new JPanel(); Border b = new TitledBorder("Title");

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "There's a bug on you!", "Message(Alert)!", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

int answer = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "Quit? ", "Confirm(Yes/NO”", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);

int sel = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(null, "Choose a Color!", "Option(Color)", JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION, JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE, null, options, options[0]);

String val = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("How many fingers do you see?");

¾ Menus

JMenuBar mb1 = new JMenuBar(); JMenu m = new JMenu("Flavors"); JMenuItem mi = new JMenuItem(flavors[i]); m.add(mi); mb1.add(m); setJMenuBar(mb1);

¾ Popup

JPopupMenu popup = new JPopupMenu(); JMenuItem mi = new JMenuItem(flavors[i]); popup.add(mi);

... popup.show(.. .);

Converting Applications to Applets

Application:

class A {} class B {}

public class FileName {

public static void main(String[] args) {

}

Applete:

//

import com.bruceeckel.swing.;*

// make sure to modify CLASSPATH // e.g., in file .cshrc in UNIX, to include where this package is // e.g., in UNIX /home/cs476/java/ThinkingInJava.2ndEditionR12/code

other imports....;

public class FileName extends JApplet { JTextArea Xout = new JTextArea(10, 30); public void init() { Container cp = getContentPane(); cp.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); cp.add(new JLabel("FileName")); cp.add(new JScrollPane(Xout));

Anywhere inside the code of main or any other class: replace: System.out.println("string"); with: Xout.append("string"); }

class A { } class B { } public static void main(String[] args) { Console.run(new FileName(), 350, 250);
