Product Description
Using the JFC′s Swing API you can quickly create familiar or unique GUIs for your applications and applets using numerous components including trees, tables, lists, and HTML text elements. A library of powerful user–interface components that feature pluggable look–and–feel, Swing lets you build Java programs that can either change dynamically to match the look and feel of any platform they′re run on, or remain platform–neutral. In addition, Swing provides a new framework for creating your own components, as well as designing your application code.
In this book, authors Scott Weiner and Stephen Asbury take a hands–on approach to mastering JFC. Using tons of working examples, complete tested source code, and a library of ready–to–use GUI components, they:
∗ Give you a complete breakdown for each Swing component
∗ Provide detailed style guidelines for each class
∗ Show you how to build your own custom JFC components
∗ Demonstrate Swing programming techniques in the context of a large application
∗ Cover advanced topics, such as the Undo framework, animated icons, GUIs for the disabled, and more.
On the CD–ROM you get:
∗ Over 100 basic and advanced example Java programs focused on specific components or techniques.
∗ Ready–to–use Java components
∗ Two useful, complete Swing–based applications with source code that demonstrate multiple techniques in a single program.
∗ JavaSoft′s JDK 1.1. x and Java Foundation Classes version 1.1
∗ Alchemy′s GifBuilder
