The following is the data entry screen used to calculate percentage and grade.

The list of controls for the above frame is as follows :

Control Type Control Name Description
jFrame FrameStudRec The main Frame
jText Field txtFirstTerm To enter first term marks
txtSecondTerm To enter second term marks
txtPercentage To display the percentage
txtGrade To display the grade
jRadioButton optMedical To provide the Medical Stream
optNonmedical To provide the Non-Medical Stream
jButton(Ok) cmdCalcPerc To calculate Percentage
cmdCalcGrade To calculate Grade
cmdClear To clear all Text Fields
cmdExit To Exit from the Application
(a) Write the code for the From Window Activate event of FrameStudRec so as to disable the 1
txtPercentage and the txtGrade text fields.
(b) Write the code for the cmdClear button to clear all the text fields. 1
(c) Write the code for the cmdCalcPerc button to calculate the percentage to display in text 2
field txtPercentage, after finding the total marks of first term and second term (assuming
that both marks are out of 100).
(d) Write the code for the cmdCalcGrade button to calculate the grade to display in text field 3
txtGrade, depending on the stream selected according to the criteria in the following table:
Stream Percentage Grade
Medical > = 80 A
60 – 80 B
< 60 C
Non Medical > = 75 A
50 – 75 B
