Complete java swing

• A graphical user interface (GUI) presents a user-
friendly mechanism for interacting with an
application. These are sometimes called controls
or widgets—short for window gadgets. A GUI
component is an object with which the user
interacts via the mouse, the keyboard or another
form of input, such as voice recognition.
• Java’s so-called Swing GUI components from the
javax.swing package. We cover other

Simple GUI-Based Input/Output with
JOptionPane
• Most applications you use on a daily basis use windows or
dialog boxes (also called dialogs) to interact with the user.
For example, an e-mail program allows you to type and
read messages in a window the program provides. Dialog
boxes are windows in which programs display important
messages to the user or obtain information from the user.
Java’s JOptionPane class (package javax.swing) provides
prebuilt dialog boxes for both input and output. These are
displayed by invoking static JOptionPane methods. Program
presents a simple addition application that uses two input
dialogs to obtain integers from the user and a message
dialog to display the sum of the integers the user enters.

• // Addition.java
• // Addition program that uses JOptionPane for input and output.
• import javax.swing.JOptionPane; // program uses JOptionPane
• public class Addition
• {
• public static void main( String[] args )
• {
• // obtain user input from JOptionPane input dialogs
• String firstNumber =
• JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter first integer" );
• String secondNumber =
• JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter second integer" );

• private void
jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.Acti
onEvent evt) {
• JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Thank
you");// TODO add your handling code here:
• }

Non-AWT Upgraded Components
• In addition to offering replacements for all the
basic AWT components, the Swing component
• set includes twice as many new components.

• package hello;
• import javax.swing.*;
• class jpswrd
• {
• public void Testing()
• {
• JPasswordField pwd = new JPasswordField(10);
• int action = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, pwd,"Enter
Password",JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION);
• if(action < 0)JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Cancel, X or escape key selected");
• else JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Your password is "+new
String(pwd.getPassword()));
• System.exit(0);
• }
• public static void main(String args[])
• {jpswrd p= new jpswrd();
• p.Testing();}
• }

• setEchoChar('+');
• Set character for password field.

JFrame
• A Frame is a top-level window with a title and
a border.
• Frame that adds support for the Swing
component architecture.

JFrame Features
 It’s a window with title, border, (optional)
menu bar and user-specified components.
.It can be moved, resized, iconified.
.It is not a subclass of JComponent.
.Delegates responsibility of managing user-
specified components to a content pane, an
instance of JPanel.

Centering JFrame’s
• By default, a Jframe is displayed in the upper-
left corner of the screen. To display a frame
at a specified location, you can use the
setLocation(x, y) method in the JFrame class.
This method places the upper-left corner of a
frame at location (x, y).

Class constructors
• JFrame()
Constructs a new frame that is initially
invisible.
• JFrame(String title)
Creates a new, initially invisible Frame with
the specified title.

JButton
• A button is a component the user clicks to
trigger a specific action. A Java application
can use several types of buttons, including
command buttons, checkboxes, toggle
buttons and radio buttons.

• all the button types are subclasses of
AbstractButton (package javax.swing), which
declares the common features of Swing
buttons.

Buttons That Maintain State
• The Swing GUI components contain three
types of state buttons—JToggleButton,
• JCheckBox and JRadioButton—that have
on/off or true/false values. Classes
JCheckBox and JRadioButton are subclasses
of JToggleButton

JLabel
• A JLabel displays read-only text, an image, or
both text and an image.

JFileChooser
Allows the the user to choose a file
• import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
• public class swing_examples {
• public static void main(String args[])
• {
• JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
• int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(null);
• if(returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION)
• System.out.println("File: " + fc.getSelectedFile());
• }
• }

JCheckBox Class
• The class JCheckBox is an implementation of a
check box - an item that can be selected or
deselected, and which displays its state to the
user.

Class constructors
of JcheckBox

/*code for checkbox that display bold text*/
• font=new Font("",Font.BOLD,14);
• jTextField1.setFont(font);
• /*code for checkbox that display italic text*/
• font=new Font("",Font.ITALIC,14);
• jTextField1.setFont(font);

JRadio Button
• The class JRadioButton is an implementation
of a radio button - an item that can be
selected or deselected, and which displays its
state to the user.

Mathematical Operations using Radio
Buttons
• private void
jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.Acti
onEvent evt) {
• jTextField1.setText("");

Addition RadioButton
• private void
jRadioButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.A
ctionEvent evt) {
• int num1,num2,result;
• num1=Integer.parseInt(jTextField1.getText());
• result=num1+num2;
• jTextField3.setText(String.valueOf(result));

Multiplication RadioButton
• private void
ctionEvent evt) {
• result=num1*num2;
• jTextField3.setText(String.valueOf(result)); //
TODO add your handling code here:
• }

Subtraction RadioButton
• private void
ctionEvent evt) {
• result=num1-num2;
• jTextField3.setText(String.valueOf(result)); //
TODO add your handling code here:
• }
