[Zi] introduction to swing + Swing is another programming in Java. «+ Swing creates highly interactive GUI applications, + Itis the most flexible and robust approach. [ZEA] swing Features ‘Swing has following two important features ~ approach of graphical 4. Piuggable Look and Feel: + Swing support several look and feels. Currently it includes support for Windows 98 and UNIX Motif. + Swing allows the user to switch look and feel at Tuntime without closing the current application. «+ Its possible to create your own look and feel for ‘swing components. 2. Lightweight Components : ‘+ Most of the Swing components are lightweight. That means using simple graphics primitive ‘components can be created. "| * With lightweight components, each component tenders itself using the drawing primitives of the Graphics object | Additional Features, 1. Swing contains wide variety of new components Such as tables, trees, sliders, progress bars and ‘so on, 2 ce ‘components can have tooltip placed over 3. It is possible to bind the keyboard events with the ‘components in Swing. 4. There'is a debugging support for rendering of created swing components. Limitations of AWT Following are some limitations of AWT - 1. AWT supports limited number of GUI components 2. The components defined by the AWT are heavy weight components 3. The behavior of AWT components varies when the container operating system changes. 4. The AWT components are developed by using the platform specific code, 5. The AWT component is converted by the native code of the operating system. [2:22 ] Ditforence between AWT and Swing “en Review Questions 1. What is Swing ? Give features of Swing 2.

The Layout is set using the contentPane object by the statement contentPane.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); ‘The default layout is FlowLayout but you can set other layout managers such as GridLayout, BorderLayout and soon. 3. After setting the layout manager, the TextField component can be created and.placed using add method. In above program, we have created two text fields. In the first text field, the string “Hello” is already written during its creation but the second textfield is kept blank and some string can be written into it during the execution.

[243] Trees «Tree is a type of component that gives the hierarchical view of data. User can expand or shrink the nodes of the tree. Inswing the trees are implemented using the JTree class. This class extends the JComponent. The most commonly used constructor for this class is - JTree(TreeNode root) ‘The root represents the root node of the tree. ‘Using the DefaultMutableTreeNode, it creates a tree node with no root node, the child of root node, specified by user object and it allows only children that have to be specified. It takes boolean types values either ‘true’ or ‘false’. If you will take ‘true’ that means children node are allowed.

It is basically for handling the user input. The controller takes care of mouse and keyboard events. For example - For the button component the reaction of events on the button press will be decided by the controller. + The MVC architecture of swing specifies how these three Objects (Model, View and Controller) interact. + For the text field the model is nothing but the conients of the text field. The model must implement the method to change the contents and to discover the contents. For example text model had methods to add, to remove the characters. One important thing to note is that the model is completely non visual. + For a single model there can be more than one views. Each view can show different aspect of the content. For example - A particular web page can be viewed in its WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What- You-Get) form or in the raw tagged form. But there are some components like button for which it is not possible to have multiple views for the same model. + The controller handles the user-input events such as mouse clicks and keyboard strokes. On receiving the events the controller decides whether to translate it into corresponding model or in views. + If user presses the button then the controller calls the event handling methods in order to handle the button press. The controller tells the view to update itself and to display: the desired result. For displaying the desired result the view reads the content from the model. Thus model-view and controller works together in order to accomplish the certain task. at Review Question 1.
