    This document discusses creating graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using Java Swing. It explains that Swing is lightweight and platform-independent. Common Component class methods like add(), setSize(), and setLayout() are used to manipulate Swing components. There are three types of container classes - Panel, Frame, and Dialog - that are used to organize and display components. Simple examples demonstrate creating a JFrame container and adding a JButton component to it directly and by inheritance. The task is to write a program adding JLabel, JTextField, and JComboBox components to a Frame, setting its size, layout, and visibility.

    JAVA SWING

    OBJECTIVE: To study how to create GUI using Java Swing.

    Swing in java is part of the Java foundation class which is lightweight and platform-independent.
    It is used for creating window-based applications. It includes components like a button, a scroll
    bar, text fields, etc. Putting together all these components makes a graphical user interface.

    Commonly used Methods of the Component class

    The methods of a Component class that are widely used in java swing are given below.

    Method Description
    public void add(Component c) add a component on another component.

    public void setSize(int width,int height) sets size of the component.

    public void setLayout(LayoutManager m) sets the layout manager for the component.

    public void setVisible(boolean b) sets the visibility of the component. It is by


    default false.

    Container Class
    Any class which has other components in it is called a Container class. For building GUI
    applications at least one container class is necessary.
    Following are the three types of container classes:
    • Panel – It is used to organize component onto a window
    • Frame – A fully functioning window with icons and titles
    • Dialog – It is like a pop-up window but not fully functional like the frame

    All the components in swing like JButton, JComboBox, JList, JLabel are inherited from the
    JComponent class which can be added to the container classes. Containers are the windows like
    frame and dialog boxes. Basic swing components are the building blocks of any GUI application.
    Methods like setLayout override the default layout in each container. Containers like JFrame and
    JDialog can only add a component to itself.

    Simple Swing Example


    Let's see a simple swing example where we are creating one button and adding it on the JFrame
    object inside the main() method.

    Sample Program#1
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class FirstSwingExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame f=new JFrame();//creating instance of JFrame

    JButton b=new JButton("click");//creating instance of JButton


    b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40);//x axis, y axis, width, height

    f.add(b);//adding button in JFrame

    f.setSize(400,500);//400 width and 500 height


    f.setLayout(null);//using no layout managers
    f.setVisible(true);//making the frame visible
    }
    }

    Simple Swing Example by Inheritance


    We can also inherit the JFrame class, so there is no need to create the instance of JFrame class
    explicitly.
    Sample Program #2
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Simple2 extends JFrame{//inheriting JFrame
    JFrame f;
    Simple2(){
    JButton b=new JButton("click");//create button
    b.setBounds(130,100,100, 40);

    add(b);//adding button on frame


    setSize(400,500);
    setLayout(null);
    setVisible(true);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    new Simple2();
    }
    }

    TASK
    Write a program to add JLabel, JTextField and JComboBox classes on a Frame and also set its
    size, Layout, and visibility as well.
