2. Event Handling
3. Swing
4. Layout Manager
5. Applet

3. Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT)
 Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) is used for GUI programming in java.
 AWT Container Hierarchy:
3

4. Container:
 The Container is a component in AWT that can contain another components like
buttons, textfields, labels etc. The classes that extends Container class are known
as container.
Window:
 The window is the container that have no borders and menubars. You must use
frame, dialog or another window for creating a window.
Panel:
 The Panel is the container that doesn't contain title bar and MenuBars. It can have
other components like button, textfield etc.
Frame:
 The Frame is the container that contain title bar and can have MenuBars. It can
have other components like button, textfield etc.
4

5. Creating a Frame
Commonly used Methods of Component class:
 1)public void add(Component c)
 2)public void setSize(int width,int height)
 3)public void setLayout(LayoutManager m)
 4)public void setVisible(boolean)
Creating a Frame:
There are two ways to create a frame:
 By extending Frame class (inheritance)
 By creating the object of Frame class (association)
5

6. Creating a Frame: Set Button
Simple example of AWT by inheritance:
import java.awt.*;
class First extends Frame{
First(){
Button b=new Button("click me");
b.setBounds(30,100,80,30);// setting button position
add(b);//adding button into frame
setSize(300,300);//frame size 300 width and 300 height
setLayout(null);//no layout now bydefault BorderLayout
setVisible(true);//now frame willbe visible, bydefault not visible
} public static void main(String args[]){ First f=new First(); } }
6

7. Button
 public void setBounds(int xaxis, int yaxis, int width, int height); have
been used in the above example that sets the position of the button.
7

8. Event and Listener (Event Handling)
 Changing the state of an object is known as an event. For example, click
on button, dragging mouse etc. The java.awt.event package provides
many event classes and Listener interfaces for event handling.
 Event classes and Listener interfaces
Event Classes Listener Interfaces
 ActionEvent ActionListener
 MouseEvent MouseListener
MouseMotionListener
 MouseWheelEvent MouseWheelListener
 KeyEvent KeyListener
 ItemEvent ItemListener
8

9. Event classes and Listener interfaces
Event Classes Listener Interfaces
 TextEvent TextListener
 AdjustmentEvent AdjustmentListener
 WindowEvent WindowListener
 ComponentEvent ComponentListener
 ContainerEvent ContainerListener
 FocusEvent FocusListener
Steps to perform EventHandling:
 Implement the Listener interface and overrides its methods
 Register the component with the Listener
9

10. Steps to perform EventHandling
 For registering the component with the Listener, many classes provide methods. F
 Button
public void addActionListener(ActionListener a){}
 MenuItem
public void addActionListener(ActionListener a){}
 TextField
public void addActionListener(ActionListener a){}
public void addTextListener(TextListener a){}
 TextArea
public void addTextListener(TextListener a){}
 Checkbox
public void addItemListener(ItemListener a){}
10

11. EventHandling Codes
 Choice
public void addItemListener(ItemListener a){}
 List
public void addActionListener(ActionListener a){}
public void addItemListener(ItemListener a){}
EventHandling Codes:
 We can put the event handling code into one of the following places:
 Same class
 Other class
 Annonymous class
11

12. Example of event handling within class
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class AEvent extends Frame implements ActionListener{
TextField tf;
AEvent(){ tf=new TextField(); tf.setBounds(60,50,170,20);
Button b=new Button("click me"); b.setBounds(100,120,80,30);
b.addActionListener(this); add(b);add(tf); setSize(300,300); setLayout(null);
setVisible(true); }
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){ tf.setText("Welcome"); }
public static void main(String args[]){
new AEvent();
} }
12

13. Output
 public void setBounds(int xaxis, int yaxis, int width, int height); have been used in
the above example that sets the position of the component it may be button,
textfield etc.
13

14. Example of event handling by Outer class

b.setBounds(100,120,80,30); b.addActio nListener(this);
add(b);add(tf); setSize(300,300); setLayout(null); setVisible(true); }
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
tf.setText("Welcome"); }
public static void main(String args[]){ new AEvent2(); } }
14

15. Outer class
import java.awt.event.*;
class Outer implements ActionListener{
AEvent2 obj;
Outer(AEvent2 obj){
this.obj=obj;
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
obj.tf.setText("welcome");
} }
15

16. Example of event handling by Annonymous
class
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class AEvent3 extends Frame{ TextField tf; AEvent3(){
tf=new TextField(); tf.setBounds(60,50,170,20);
Button b=new Button("click me"); b.setBounds(50,120,80,30);
b.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(){ tf.setText("hello"); } });
add(b);
add(tf); setSize(300,300); setLayout(null); setVisible(true); }
public static void main(String args[])
{
new AEvent3(); } }

17. Swing (Graphics Programming in java)
 Swing is a part of JFC (Java Foundation Classes) that is used to create GUI
application. It is built on the top of Swing is a part of JFC (Java Foundation Classes)
that is used to create GUI application. It is built on the top of AWT and entirely
written in java.
Advantage of Swing over AWT:
 There are many advantages of Swing over AWT. They are as follows:
 Swing components are Plateform independent & It is lightweight.
 It supports pluggable look and feel.
 It has more powerful componenets like tables, lists, scroll panes, color chooser,
tabbed pane etc.
 It follows MVC (Model View Controller) architecture.
 What is JFC ? - The Java Foundation Classes (JFC) are a set of GUI components
which simplify the development of desktop applications.
