Develop Java programs to implement various Swing

Components.

Prepared by Prof. Dr. S. H. Kulkarni

Difference between AWT & Swing
AWT Swing
AWT stands for Abstract windows toolkit. Swings is advanced version of AWT.
Swing is also called as JFC’s (Java Foundation classes).
AWT components are called Heavyweight component. Swings are called light weight component because swing
components sits on the top of AWT components and do the work.

AWT components require java.awt package. Swing components require javax.swing package.
AWT components does not start with J letter. Eg Button Swing components starts with J letter eg JButton

Plug & Play is not supported in AWT. We can have different look and feel, plug & play component in
Swing.
Advanced Components are not available in AWT. Swing has many advanced features like JTabel, JTabbed pane
which is not available in AWT.
Using AWT, you have to implement a lot of things yourself. Swing has them many built in features.

Display of images with components is not possible We can display images with Components
in AWT

JTextComponent

JPasswordField JTextField JTextArea

JTextField class
Used to allow us to enter/edit a single line of text.
Constructors:
JTextField()
JTextField(Document doc, String text, int columns)
JTextField(int col)
JTextField(String text)
JTextField(String text, int columns)

Prepared by Prof. Dr. S. H. Kulkarni

JTextArea
Method or Constructor Purpose
Creates a text area. When present,
JTextArea() the String argument contains the initial
JTextArea(String) text. The int arguments specify the
JTextArea(String, int, int) desired width in columns and height in
JTextArea(int, int) rows, respectively.
void setText(String)
String getText() Sets or obtains the text displayed by the
(defined inJTextComponent) text area.

Method Purpose
void setEditable(boolean) Sets or indicates whether the user can
boolean isEditable() edit the text in the text area.
(defined inJTextComponent)

JButton
Constructor:
JButton(Icon icon)
JButton(String str)
JButton(String str, Icon icon)
Methods:
String getActionCommand( )
String getText()
void SetText(String s)

Prepared by Prof. Dr. S. H. Kulkarni

JToggleButton
A toggle button looks just like a push button, but it acts differently.
 it has two states: pushed and released.
That is, when you pressed a toggle button, it stays pressed rather
than popping back up as a regular push button does.
When you press the toggle button a second time, it releases(pops
up). Therefore, each time a toggle button is pushed, it toggles
between its two states.
It is combination of JCheckBox and JRadioButton
Constructor: JToggleButton(String str)
Methods:
Object getItem( )
boolean isSelected( )

Prepared by Prof. Dr. S. H. Kulkarni

JRadioButton
Radio buttons are a group of mutually exclusive
buttons, in which only one button can be selected at
any one time.
 They are supported by the JRadioButton class, which
extends JToggleButton.
JRadioButton(String str)
JRadioButton(ImageIcon i)
JRadioButton(String str, ImageIcon i)
JRadioButton(String str,ImageIcon i, boolean true)
JRadioButton(String str, boolean true)
Prepared by Prof. Dr. S. H. Kulkarni
JCheckBox
JCheckBox(String str)
JCheckBox(ImageIcon i)
JCheckBox(String str, ImageIcon i)
JCheckBox(String str,ImageIcon i, boolean true)
JCheckBox(String str, boolean true)

Prepared by Prof. Dr. S. H. Kulkarni

JList
Displays list for multiple selection as well as images
Constructors:
JList(Object[ ] items)
JList(ListModel datamodel)
JList is based on two models. The first is ListModel. This
interface defines how access to the list data is achieved.
The second model is the ListSelectionModel interface,
which defines methods that determine what list item or
items are selected.
Does not support scrolling.We must add JScrollPane

JComboBox
Swing provides a combo box (a combination of a text
field and a drop-down list) throughthe JComboBox class.
A combo box normally displays one entry, but it will also
display a drop-down list that allows a user to select a
different entry
Constuctor:

JTree
ATree is a component that presents a hierarchical view
of data.
The user has the ability to expand or collapse
individual subtrees in this display.
constructors
 JTree(Object obj[ ])
JTree(Vector<?> v)
JTree(TreeNode tn)
• JTree relies on two models: TreeModel and
TreeSelectionModel
Prepared by Prof. Dr. S. H. Kulkarni
JTREE
The TreeNode interface declares methods that obtain
information about a tree node.
For example, it is possible to obtain a reference to the
parent node or an enumeration of the child nodes. The
MutableTreeNode interface extends TreeNode.
It declares methods that can insert and remove child
nodes or change the parent node.
The DefaultMutableTreeNode class implements the
MutableTreeNode

Prepared by Prof. Dr. S. H. Kulkarni

DefaultMutableTreeNode
The DefaultMutableTreeNode class implements the
MutableTreeNode interface. It represents a node in a tree.
One of its constructors is shown here:
DefaultMutableTreeNode(Object obj)
Here, obj is the object to be enclosed in this tree node.
The new tree node doesn’t have a parent or children.
To create a hierarchy of tree nodes, the add( ) method of
DefaultMutableTreeNode can be used. Its signature is
shown here:
void add(MutableTreeNode child)

JTable
JTable is a component that displays rows and columns
of data.
You can drag the cursor on column boundaries to
resize columns. You can also drag a column to a new
position.
Depending on its configuration, it is also possible to
select a row, column, or cell within the table, and to
change the data within a cell

Prepared by Prof. Dr. S. H. Kulkarni

JTable is a component that displays rows and columns of
JTable
data
JTable(Object data[ ][ ], Object colHeads[ ])
Here are the steps required to set up a simple JTable that
can be used to display data.
Steps for JTable
1. Create an instance of JTable.
2. Create a JScrollPane object, specifying the table as the
object to scroll.
3. Add the table to the scroll pane.
4. Add the scroll pane to the
Content pane.
