Class 11 IT – JAVA Programming using NetBeans IDE

NetBeans IDE is used to create java applications very easily using the efficient GUI
builder.

Creating a New Project

The steps to create a new project are:
1. Select New Project from the File menu. You can also click the New Project button in
the IDE toolbar.
2. In the Categories pane, select the General node. In the Projects pane, choose the Java
Application type. Click the Next button.
3. Enter the name of the project in the Project Name field and specify the project
location. Do not create a Main class here.
4. Click the Finish button.

JAVA SWING
Swing is a set of classes that provides more powerful and flexible components than
are possible with AWT (Abstract Windows Toolkit). It supplies buttons, chekboxes,
labels, tabbed panes, scrool pans, trees, tables, dialog boxes etc.
The swing controls/components are categorized as:
 Components : Self contained graphic entity ( eg. JLabel, JBotten, JTextField etc)
 Containers: Component that can hold other components (eg. JPanel, JFrame,
JDialog, JWindow)

COMMONLY AVAILABLE SWING CONTROLS IN JAVA

 jFrame: A Frame is a container control, in which all the controls can be lace.
 jLabel: JLable allows placing un-editable text on the Frame/Panel
 jTextField: JTextFeild allows placing editable text on the Frame/Pane. User can
enter text in a text field during runtime.
 jbutton: is used to initiate an action when it is clicked.
 jList: is a group of values or items from which one or more selections can be
made.
 jComboBox: jComboBox is similar to jList but also allow to enter editable text
 during run time. It is a combination of jTextFiled and jList.
 jRadioButton: Allow us to choose a single item from a group of jRadioButton
 options.
 jCheckBox: Allow us to choose one or more items from a group of jCheckBox
 options.
 jPasswordField: Allow us to enter a text during the run time but shows an
encrypted text instead of the original text.
 jTextArea: JTextArea is a multi-line text component to enter or edit text.

Swing Controls Methods and Properties:

Methods are used to perform some action on the object. For example to display
something in a textfield you can use its setText() method, to extract the contents of a
textfield you can use its getText() method.
Methods can be divided into two categories- getters and setters.
• Getters are the methods which extract some information from the object and return it
to the program. Getters start with the word get.
Examples of getters are: getText(), getForeground(), getModel(), isEditable etc.
• Setters are the methods which set some properties of the object so that the object's
appearance changes. Setters start with the word set.
Examples of setters are: setText(), setForground(), setModel() etc.
Events:
Events are the actions which are performed on controls.
Examples of events are: mouseClick, mouseMoved,keyPressed etc.
When the user performs any action on a control, an event happens and that event
invokes (sends a call to) the corresponding part of the code and the application behaves
accordingly.
