JAVA AWT: Panel, Dialog and ToolKit


Java AWT Panel

The Panel is a simplest container class. It provides space in which an application can attach any other component. It inherits the Container class.

It doesn't have title bar.

AWT Panel class declaration

  1. public class Panel extends Container implements Accessible  

Java AWT Panel Example

  1. import java.awt.*;  
  2. public class PanelExample {  
  3.      PanelExample()  
  4.         {  
  5.         Frame f= new Frame("Panel Example");    
  6.         Panel panel=new Panel();  
  7.         panel.setBounds(40,80,200,200);    
  8.         panel.setBackground(Color.gray);  
  9.         Button b1=new Button("Button 1");     
  10.         b1.setBounds(50,100,80,30);    
  11.         b1.setBackground(Color.yellow);   
  12.         Button b2=new Button("Button 2");   
  13.         b2.setBounds(100,100,80,30);    
  14.         b2.setBackground(Color.green);   
  15.         panel.add(b1); panel.add(b2);  
  16.         f.add(panel);  
  17.         f.setSize(400,400);    
  18.         f.setLayout(null);    
  19.         f.setVisible(true);    
  20.         }  
  21.         public static void main(String args[])  
  22.         {  
  23.         new PanelExample();  
  24.         }  
  25. }  

Output:

Java AWT Dialog

The Dialog control represents a top level window with a border and a title used to take some form of input from the user. It inherits the Window class.

Unlike Frame, it doesn't have maximize and minimize buttons.

Frame vs Dialog

Frame and Dialog both inherits Window class. Frame has maximize and minimize buttons but Dialog doesn't have.

AWT Dialog class declaration

  1. public class Dialog extends Window  

Java AWT Dialog Example

  1. import java.awt.*;  
  2. import java.awt.event.*;  
  3. public class DialogExample {  
  4.     private static Dialog d;  
  5.     DialogExample() {  
  6.         Frame f= new Frame();  
  7.         d = new Dialog(f , "Dialog Example", true);  
  8.         d.setLayout( new FlowLayout() );  
  9.         Button b = new Button ("OK");  
  10.         b.addActionListener ( new ActionListener()  
  11.         {  
  12.             public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )  
  13.             {  
  14.                 DialogExample.d.setVisible(false);  
  15.             }  
  16.         });  
  17.         d.add( new Label ("Click button to continue."));  
  18.         d.add(b);   
  19.         d.setSize(300,300);    
  20.         d.setVisible(true);  
  21.     }  
  22.     public static void main(String args[])  
  23.     {  
  24.         new DialogExample();  
  25.     }  
  26. }  

Output:

java awt Dialog example 1


Java AWT Toolkit

Toolkit class is the abstract superclass of every implementation in the Abstract Window Toolkit. Subclasses of Toolkit are used to bind various components. It inherits Object class.

AWT Toolkit class declaration

  1. public abstract class Toolkit extends Object  

Java AWT Toolkit Example

  1. import java.awt.*;  
  2. public class ToolkitExample {  
  3.   public static void main(String[] args) {  
  4.       Toolkit t = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();  
  5.       System.out.println("Screen resolution = " + t.getScreenResolution());  
  6.       Dimension d = t.getScreenSize();  
  7.       System.out.println("Screen width = " + d.width);  
  8.       System.out.println("Screen height = " + d.height);  
  9.   }  
  10. }  

Output:

Screen resolution = 96
Screen width = 1366
Screen height = 768

Java AWT Toolkit Example: beep()

  1. import java.awt.event.*;  
  2. public class ToolkitExample {  
  3. public static void main(String[] args) {  
  4.     Frame f=new Frame("ToolkitExample");  
  5.     Button b=new Button("beep");  
  6.     b.setBounds(50,100,60,30);  
  7.     f.add(b);     
  8.     f.setSize(300,300);  
  9.     f.setLayout(null);  
  10.     f.setVisible(true);  
  11.     b.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){  
  12.         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){  
  13.             Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();  
  14.         }  
  15.     });       
  16. }  
  17. }  

Output:

java awt toolkit example 1

Java AWT Toolkit Example: Change TitleBar Icon

  1. import java.awt.*;   
  2. class ToolkitExample {   
  3. ToolkitExample(){   
  4. Frame f=new Frame();   
  5. Image icon = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("D:\\icon.png");  
  6. f.setIconImage(icon);  
  7. f.setLayout(null);   
  8. f.setSize(400,400);   
  9. f.setVisible(true);   
  10. }   
  11. public static void main(String args[]){   
  12. new ToolkitExample();   
  13. }   
  14. }  

Output:

java awt toolkit example 2

Data Warehousing - An Overview

Anurag Information Technology (IT) has historically influenced organizational performance and competitive standing. The increasing processing power and sophistication of analytical tools and techniques have put the strong foundation for the product called data warehouse. There are a number of reasons that any organization should consider a data warehouse, which can be the critical tool for maximizing the organization’s investment in the information it has collected and stored throughout the enterprise. IT managers need to understand the rationale and benefits of data warehouses because they may need to design and implement, or procure this kingpin of business intelligence. The data warehouses are supposed to provide storage, functionality and responsiveness to queries beyond the capabilities of today's transaction-oriented databases. Also data warehouses are set to improve the data access performance of databases. Traditional databases balance the requirement of data access w...

Standard and Formatted Input / Output in C++

The C++ standard libraries provide an extensive set of input/output capabilities which we will see in subsequent chapters. This chapter will discuss very basic and most common I/O operations required for C++ programming. C++ I/O occurs in streams, which are sequences of bytes. If bytes flow from a device like a keyboard, a disk drive, or a network connection etc. to main memory, this is called   input operation   and if bytes flow from main memory to a device like a display screen, a printer, a disk drive, or a network connection, etc., this is called   output operation . Standard Input and Output in C++ is done through the use of  streams . Streams are generic places to send or receive data. In C++, I/O is done through classes and objects defined in the header file  <iostream> .  iostream  stands for standard input-output stream. This header file contains definitions to objects like  cin ,  cout , etc. /O Library Header Files There are...

Genotype Representation

Binary Representation This is one of the simplest and most widely used representation in GAs. In this type of representation the genotype consists of bit strings. For some problems when the solution space consists of Boolean decision variables – yes or no, the binary representation is natural. Take for example the 0/1 Knapsack Problem. If there are n items, we can represent a solution by a binary string of n elements, where the x th  element tells whether the item x is picked (1) or not (0). For other problems, specifically those dealing with numbers, we can represent the numbers with their binary representation. The problem with this kind of encoding is that different bits have different significance and therefore mutation and crossover operators can have undesired consequences. This can be resolved to some extent by using  Gray Coding,  as a change in one bit does not have a massive effect on the solution. Real Valued Representation For problems where we want to define ...
