  7. Constructing Visual Components List( int nVisibleRows, boolean multiSelectOk ) --> ItemEvent, ActionEvent ScrollPane( int scrollbarPolicy ) --> MouseEvent, MouseMotionEvent Scrollbar( int orientation, int initialValue, int sliderSize, int minValue, int maxValue ) --> AdjustmentEvent

  8. Constructing Visual TextComponents TextField( String text, int nCols ) TextArea( String text, int nRows, int nCols, int scrollbarPolicy ) Events TextEvent (both, when text is typed) ActionEvent (Enter in TextField)
