How can we implement a JToggleButton in Java?
In this article, we will learn about the implementation of a JToggleButton in Java. The JToggleButton is a basic Swing component in Java that is used to represent a two-state button, i.e., selected or unselected. It is therefore the best component to use when adding on/off or mode selection functionality to Java applications. JToggleButton A JToggleButton is an extension of AbstractButton, and it can be used to represent buttons that can be toggled ON and OFF. When JToggleButton is pressed for the first time, it remains pressed and it can be released only when it is pressed for the second ...
Read MoreWhat is the use of setBounds() method in Java?
The layout managers are used to automatically decide the position and size of the added components. In the absence of a layout manager, the position and size of the components have to be set manually. The setBounds() method in Java is used in such a situation to set the position and size. To specify the position and size of the components manually, the layout manager of the frame can be null. The setBounds() Method The setBounds() is a method inherited from Java's AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) and Swing libraries that enables manual positioning and sizing of GUI components. The setBounds() ...
Read MoreWhat is a ClassCastException and when it will be thrown in Java?
In this article, we will be learning about ClassCastException in Java. But before we jump into this, we'll understand what an exception is in Java. After that, we'll learn why and when ClassCastException occurs, look at real-world code examples that throw this exception, and finally learn how to avoid or resolve it. What is an Exception in Java? An exception in Java is an event that disrupts the normal flow of the program. Java provides a way to handle these errors gracefully using try-catch blocks. There are 2 types of exceptions: Checked Exceptions – ...

In this article, we will learn to display the different font items inside a JComboBox in Java. The Swing framework provides a powerful JComboBox component that allows users to select an object from a drop-down list. What is a JComboBox? A JComboBox is a subclass of the JComponent class, and it is a combination of a text field and a drop-down list from which the user can choose a value. A JComboBox can generate an ActionListener, ChangeListener, and ItemListener interfaces when the user interacts with a combo box. Syntax The following is the syntax: JComboBox Box_Name = new JComboBox(array); Problem ...
Read MoreWhat are the differences between JRadioButton and JCheckBox in Java?
Both JRadioButton and JCheckBox components can extend the JToggleButton class in Java, the main difference is that JRadioButton is a group of buttons in which only one button can be selected at a time, whereas JCheckBox is a group of checkboxes in which multiple items can be selected at a time. JRadioButton A JRadioButton is a component that represents an item with a state selected or unselected. Usually, a group of radio buttons is created to provide options to the user, but only one option can be selected at a time. JRadioButton will generate an ActionListener, ChangeListener, and ItemListener interfaces. Instantiating JRadioButton: JRadioButton Radio_Name = new JRadioButton(); ...
Read MoreHow can we create a login form in Java?\\n
We can develop a login form in Java using Java Swing technology. In this example, we can create two labels username and password, two text fields for the user to enter valid credentials, and finally, one submit button. Once the user is able to enter the valid credentials in the two text fields, we can able to see Hello admin in the login form. Setting Up the Project We’ll use Java Swing, a GUI toolkit for building desktop applications. Required Libraries are: javax.swing.* (for Swing components) java.awt.* (for layout management) ...
Read MoreCan we change the order of public static void main() to static public void main() in Java?
Yes, we can change the order of public static void main() to static public void main() in Java, the compiler doesn't throw any compile-time error or runtime error. In Java, we can declare access modifiers in any order, the method name comes last, the return type comes second to last and then after it's our choice. But it's recommended to put access modifier (public, private and protected) at the forefront as per Java coding standards. Java Method Modifiers and Their Order Java allows you to place method modifiers (the keyword "public, " "static, " "final, " etc.) in various orders. The Java ...
Read MoreWhat are the differences between paint() method and repaint() method in Java?
In this article, we will learn about the differences between the paint() method and the repaint() method in Java. In the AWT and Swing frameworks, rendering graphical components is done in two different roles by the two methods paint() and repaint(). The paint() Method This method holds instructions to paint this component. In Java Swing, we can change the paintComponent() method instead of paint() method as paint calls paintBorder(), paintComponent() and paintChildren() methods. We cannot call this method directly instead we can call repaint(). Syntax The following is the syntax: public void paint(Graphics g) { // paint() method ...
Read MoreHow can we minimize/maximize a JFrame programmatically in Java?
In this article, we will learn to minimize/maximize a JFrame programmatically in Java. In Swing, programmers often need to resize the window as needed. For example, they can shrink the window when carrying out background tasks or expand the window size for a better full-screen experience. What is a JFrame? A JFrame class is a subclass of Frame class and the components added to a frame are referred to as its contents, these are managed by the contentPane. A JFrame contains a window with title, border, (optional) menu bar and user-specific components. By default, we can minimize a JFrame by ...
