- 4. What is GUIProgramming? 01 02 Graphical User Interface (GUI) programming involves creating interactive applications with visual elements; it uses windows, buttons, and menus to facilitate user interaction. GUI provides a user-friendly interface, enhancing usability and accessibility; it dramatically improves the user experience over command-line interfaces. Definition of GUI Importance of GUI in applications
- 5. Overview of AWTand Swing AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) introduction AWT is Java’s original GUI toolkit, providing basic components and platform-dependent look and feel; it relies on native OS components. Swing introduction Swing is a more advanced GUI toolkit, built on top of AWT, offering a platform-independent look and feel; it provides a richer set of components and greater flexibility. Key Differences between AWT and Swing AWT components are heavyweight, while Swing components are lightweight; Swing offers more customization options and a consistent look across platforms.
- 6. Setting up theDevelopment Environment Use IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, or NetBeans for efficient Java development; these provide features like code completion and debugging tools. Setting up Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Download and install the latest JDK from Oracle’s website; configure environment variables for Java to run properly. Installing Java Development Kit (JDK)
- 7. Bounded Types inJava GUI 02 .
- 8. Understanding Bounded Types Definitionof Bounded Types Bounded types use generics to constrain the types that can be used with a class or method; they enhance type safety. Upper and Lower Bounded Types Upper bounded types limit to subclasses of a class, while lower bounded types limit to superclasses; this flexibility helps write more generic code.
- 9. Using Bounded Typesin GUI 01 Bounded types in Swing components Bounded types ensure type safety for components; for example, ensuring the correct data type in a JTable column. 02 Benefits of Bounded Types in GUIs Bounded types reduce runtime errors by ensuring compile-time type checks; they facilitate more maintainable and robust GUI applications.
- 10. Examples of BoundedTypes in GUI Develop a generic text field that accepts only numeric inputs using bounded types; implement type checking during input to prevent errors. 01 Creating a generic GUI component with bounded types Implementing data validation using bounded types Use bounded types to validate data input in forms; ensure only valid data types are accepted, improving data integrity. 02

- 12. Basics of Graphicsin AWT and Swing Frames provide the basic window, and components are GUI elements like buttons and labels; they form the structure of the GUI. Using Frame and Components The `Graphics` class is the base class for all graphics contexts; it provides methods for drawing shapes, text, and images. Introduction to Graphics Class
- 13. Use `Graphics` methodsto draw rectangles, ovals, and lines; parameters include coordinates, width, and height. Drawing Basic Shapes Set colors using the `Color` class; use predefined colors or create custom colors using RGB values. Working with Colors Use the `Font` class to specify font type, size, and style; apply fonts to text displayed in components. Font handling Load images using the `ImageIO` class and display them in components; handle different image formats like JPEG, PNG, and GIF. Displaying Images Drawing 2D Shapes, Colors, Fonts, and Images
- 14. Practical Examples ofGraphics Programming Develop an application to display images from local files; include zoom and rotation functionalities. Building a simple image viewer Implement a panel where users can draw shapes using the mouse; allow users to change colors and sizes. Creating a custom drawing panel
- 15. Event Handling inJava GUI 04 .
- 16. Understanding Event-Driven Programming 0102 Event-driven programming involves responding to user actions and system events; the program waits for events and then handles them appropriately. Events are generated when actions occur, event listeners listen for these events, and event handlers process the events. What is Event-Driven Programming? The Event Handling Process
- 17. Using Event Listeners Implementlisteners (e.g., `ActionListener`, `MouseListener`) to respond to events; attach these listeners to components. Adapter Classes Use adapter classes to simplify event handling by implementing default behavior; override only the methods you need. Actions Utilize the `Action` interface to encapsulate event-handling logic; this allows associating actions with multiple components. Implementing Event Handlers
- 18. Types of Events Respondto key presses and releases; use `KeyListener` to capture keyboard input. Keyboard Events Handle mouse clicks, mouse movements, and mouse wheel events; use `MouseListener` and `MouseMotionListener`. Mouse Events
- 19. The AWT EventHierarchy Overview of AWT Event Hierarchy AWT events are organized in a hierarchy with `java.util.EventObject` as the root; understand different event types and their relationships.
- 20. Practical Examples ofEvent Handling Develop a text editor with shortcuts for common actions; use `KeyListener` and `Actions` to handle keyboard input. Building a simple text editor with key bindings Implement buttons that change color or text when clicked; use `ActionListener` to handle button clicks. Creating interactive buttons

- 22. Introduction to LayoutManagers The Role of Layout Managers Layout managers automatically arrange components in a container; they ensure a consistent UI across different screen sizes and resolutions. Common Layout Managers Explore `FlowLayout`, `BorderLayout`, `GridLayout`, `CardLayout`, and `BoxLayout`; understand their usage and behavior.
- 23. 1 Arranges components ina sequential flow; useful for simple layouts where components are added one after another. FlowLayout 2 Divides the container into five regions: North, South, East, West, and Center; suitable for applications with distinct sections. BorderLayout 3 Arranges components in a grid of rows and columns; useful for forms and tables. GridLayout 4 Allows multiple components to share the same space; only one component is visible at a time, useful for wizards and tabbed interfaces. CardLayout 5 Arranges components in a single row or column; provides more control over alignment and spacing. BoxLayout Using Different Layout Managers
- 24. Practical Examples ofLayout Management Create a login form with labels and text fields using `GridLayout`; ensure components are neatly aligned. 01 Designing a form using GridLayout Building a complex UI using multiple Layout Managers Combine multiple layout managers to create a sophisticated user interface; nest panels with different layouts for complex arrangements. 02

- 26. Using JTextField `JTextField` allowssingle-line text input; handle text changes using `ActionListener`. Using JTextArea `JTextArea` allows multi-line text input; useful for displaying and editing large amounts of text. Text Fields and Text Areas
- 27. Buttons, Check Boxes,and Radio Buttons Using JButton `JButton` triggers an action when clicked; attach `ActionListener` to handle button clicks. Using JCheckBox `JCheckBox` allows users to select or deselect options; handle state changes using `ActionListener`. Using JRadioButton `JRadioButton` allows users to select one option from a group; group radio buttons using `ButtonGroup` to ensure mutual exclusivity.
- 28. Lists, Choices, andScrollbars `JScrollBar` allows users to scroll through content; handle value changes using `AdjustmentListener`. Using JScrollBar `JList` presents a list of selectable items; handle selection changes using `ListSelectionListener`. Using JList `JComboBox` presents a dropdown list of options; handle selection changes using `ActionListener`. Using JComboBox 01 02 03
- 29. Windows, Menus, andDialog Boxes `JFrame` provides the main window for the application; add components to the frame's content pane. Using JFrame Create menu bars, menus, and menu items; attach `ActionListener` to menu items to handle user selections. Creating Menus with JMenuBar, JMenu, and JMenuItem `JDialog` displays a modal or non- modal dialog box; use it for displaying messages, prompts, or settings. Using JDialog
- 30. Practical Examples ofSwing Components Implement basic arithmetic operations using buttons, text fields, and event handling; display results in a text field. Create a preferences window with options that can be toggled using check boxes; save and load preferences using dialog boxes. Developing a simple calculator Building a preferences window using dialog boxes and check boxes
