Window Example
Create the following java program using any editor of your choice in say D:/ > AWT > com > adglob > gui >AwtContainerDemo.java
package com.adglob.gui; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class AwtContainerDemo { private Frame mainFrame; private Label headerLabel; private Label statusLabel; private Panel controlPanel; private Label msglabel; public AwtContainerDemo(){ prepareGUI(); } public static void main(String[] args){ AwtContainerDemo awtContainerDemo = new AwtContainerDemo(); awtContainerDemo.showFrameDemo(); } private void prepareGUI(){ mainFrame = new Frame("Java AWT Examples"); mainFrame.setSize(400,400); mainFrame.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1)); mainFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() { public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent){ System.exit(0); } }); headerLabel = new Label(); headerLabel.setAlignment(Label.CENTER); statusLabel = new Label(); statusLabel.setAlignment(Label.CENTER); statusLabel.setSize(350,100); msglabel = new Label(); msglabel.setAlignment(Label.CENTER); msglabel.setText("Welcome to Adglob AWT Tutorial."); controlPanel = new Panel(); controlPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); mainFrame.add(headerLabel); mainFrame.add(controlPanel); mainFrame.add(statusLabel); mainFrame.setVisible(true); } private void showWindowDemo(){ headerLabel.setText("Container in action: Window"); final MessageWindow window = new MessageWindow(mainFrame, "Welcome to Adglob AWT Tutorial."); Button okButton = new Button("Open a Window"); okButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { window.setVisible(true); statusLabel.setText("A Window shown to the user."); } }); controlPanel.add(okButton); mainFrame.setVisible(true); } class MessageWindow extends Window{ private String message; public MessageWindow(Frame parent, String message) { super(parent); this.message = message; setSize(300, 300); setLocationRelativeTo(parent); setBackground(Color.gray); } public void paint(Graphics g) { super.paint(g); g.drawRect(0,0,getSize().width - 1,getSize().height - 1); g.drawString(message,50,150); } } }
Compile the program using command prompt. Go to D:/ > AWT and type the following command.
D:\AWT>javac com\adglob\gui\AwtContainerDemo.java
If no error comes that means compilation is successful. Run the program using following command.
D:\AWT>java com.adglob.gui.AwtContainerDemo
