Swing Examples - Creating Vertical Slider
Following example showcase how to use vertical slider in a Java Swing application.
We are using the following APIs.
JSlider(orientation, min, max, value) − To create a slider while orientation set the vertical orientation.
JSlider.getValue() − To get the current value of slider.
Example
Create the following Java program using any editor of your choice in say D:/ > SWING > com > tutorialspoint > gui >
SwingControlDemo.java
package com.tutorialspoint.gui; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.event.*; public class SwingControlDemo { private JFrame mainFrame; private JLabel headerLabel; private JLabel statusLabel; private JPanel controlPanel; public SwingControlDemo(){ prepareGUI(); } public static void main(String[] args){ SwingControlDemo swingControlDemo = new SwingControlDemo(); swingControlDemo.showSliderDemo(); } private void prepareGUI(){ mainFrame = new JFrame("Java Swing Examples"); mainFrame.setSize(400,700); mainFrame.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1)); mainFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() { public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent){ System.exit(0); } }); headerLabel = new JLabel("", JLabel.CENTER); statusLabel = new JLabel("",JLabel.CENTER); statusLabel.setSize(350,100); controlPanel = new JPanel(); controlPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); mainFrame.add(headerLabel); mainFrame.add(controlPanel); mainFrame.add(statusLabel); mainFrame.setVisible(true); } private void showSliderDemo(){ headerLabel.setText("Control in action: JSlider"); JSlider slider = new JSlider(JSlider.VERTICAL,0,100,10); slider.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() { public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) { statusLabel.setText("Value : " + ((JSlider)e.getSource()).getValue()); } }); controlPanel.add(slider); mainFrame.setVisible(true); } }
Compile the program using the command prompt. Go to D:/ > SWING and type the following command.
D:\SWING>javac com\tutorialspoint\gui\SwingControlDemo.java
If no error occurs, it means the compilation is successful. Run the program using the following command.
D:\SWING>java com.tutorialspoint.gui.SwingControlDemo
Verify the following output.
