Core Swing: Advanced Programming (Core Series) (Paperback)

Now that the Swing classes have been in the marketplace for several months, thousands of Java programmers are ready to go beyond the first round of Swing books. In short, they're ready for Core Swing: Advanced Programming, the most advanced Swing techniques ever published! Kim Topley picks up where he left off in Core Java Foundation Classes, providing even more sophisticated techniques for working with text, trees, and tables, creating your own Swing components; and much more. In this book, Topley has taken on many of the toughest Swing issues raised by programmers in the Java newsgroups -- and he's also addressed three key topics many earlier Swing books missed: undo/redo, drag-and-drop, and accessibility.
