  1. Advanced GUI Components in JAVA Eric Stokes, Matt Behling

  2. Advanced Layout Managers • GridbagLayout • CardLayout • SpringLayout

  3. GridBagLayout • Advanced Layout • Versatile • Uses constraints to define positions

  4. CardLayout • Similar to using tabbed panes • Gives the illusion of “hiding” and “showing components” • Keeps the state of components since it simply hides an entire JPanel • Can Use multiple switching components such as JMenu or JComboBox

  5. SpringLayout • Rudimentary layout • Not recommended for hand coding • Components are defined by their relationships to other components

  6. Other GUI Components • Tabbed Panes • JMenu • Buttons With Icons

  7. Tabbed Panes • Similar Behavior to CardLayout with a tab interface • Allows the use of Icons the same as JButtons

  8. Jbuttons and Icons • Icons can be added to a button • The Icon is defaulted to the Left of text

  9. JMenu • Creates a menu similar to many applications • Useful for saving, loading, new, functions that would be accessed from many different parts of an application • Menus created from top down, Create MenuBar, then Menu, then MenuItem • Also Allows Icons
