Panels
Panels are rectangular components, which serve two main purpose:
1. they can be used as canvas that one draws on
2. they can be used as containers to embed further graphical components

[public] interface interface-name {
[class-variable-declaration(s)]
[abstract-method-declaration(s)]
}

Implementing event handlings

public void addCategoryListener(CateoryListener l)

Defines another method

public void removeCategoryListener(CategoryListener)

addXXX();

removeXXX();

-

Example:

public void addActionListener(ActionListener l)

public void removeActionListener(ActionListener l)

-

The steps in setting up event handling for a GUI are:

1. Identify the category of the event the GUI component is expected to handle.

2. Write an event handler class that implements the listener interface.

3. While constructing the GUI, create the GUI component and an object of the event handler class.

4. Call the addXXX() method of the GUI component to register the event handler object to be its event handler.

The definition of the handler class:

[public] class class-name [extends superclass-name] implements ActionListener {
  ….
  public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
     ….
  }
}

public JLabel(String text)

public JLabel(ImageIcon picture)

public String getText()

public void setText(String text)

public void setText(String text, int alignment)

public void setForeground(Color c)

public void setBackground(Color c)

public void setOpaque(boolean b)

-

getText() returns the text currently displayed in the label as a String.

setText(String text, int alignment) alignment=SwingConstants.CENTER, LEFT, RIGHT

setOpaque(boolean b) Set non-transparent, transparent

JFrame()

setVisible(boolean b)

setTitle(String title)

setSize(int width, int height)

setLocation(int horizontal, int vertical)

pack()

setDefaultCloseOperation(int operation)

pack() resizes the frame so that it tightly fits around components embedded into its content pane.

1. Creating a top-level container object

2. Creating GUI components and adding them to the top-level container

3. Adding the functionalities to the GUI components
