Commonly used Constructors - Panel():- Creates a new panel using the default layout manager ~ Panel(LayoutManager layout):- Creates a new panel with the specified layout manager Other components can be added to a Panel object by its add() method (inherited from Container). Once these components have been added, you can position and resize them manually using the setLocation(_), setSize( ), setPreferredSize( ), or setBounds() methods defined by Component.yp BZ Advanced Java Programming, tained with The Window class creates a top-level window.

It can be constructed with parent, typically a Frame or another dialog. Dialogs are divided into types, Modal and Modeles: (default). A modal dialog blocks user input of top-level windows of the dialog (i.e. its paren's but not its children) while a modeless dialog doesn't. We will discuss about it in detail later.

There are several key methods that we can 2B tase when working with Frame windows, They are examined here. u ., . dow x + Setting the Window's Dimensions: The setSize( ) method is used to set the 4 dimensions of the window. Its signature is shown here: Winds void setSize(int newWidth, int newHeight) Wg void setSize(Dimension newSize) ts The new size of the window is specified by newWidth and newHeight, or by the : width and height fields of the Dimension object passed in newSize. The dimensions are specified in terms of pixels. ‘ The getSize( ) method is used to obtain the current size of a window. signature is shown here: Dimension getSize( ) ies ‘This method returns the current size of the window contained within the width 2s be and height fields of a Dimension object. ; + Hiding and Showing a Window: Aftera frame window has been created, it will not be visible until we call setVisible( ) method. Its signature is shown a below: oid setVisible(boolean visibleFlag) object wit The component is visible if the argument to this method is hidden. Setting a Window's Title: We can change the title in a frame window using setTitle() method, which has this general form: void setTitle(String newTitle) panels 164 Here, newTitleis the new title for the window. the Dials. CJoging a Frame Window: Whenusing a frame window, our program must screen when it is closed, by calling setVisible() Its true. Otherwise, it is structed ¥ remove that window from the dal and Nee method.

The list can be configured to that user can choose either one item or multiple items. Unlike the Choice object, which shows only the single selected item in the menu, a List object can be constructed to show any number of choices in the visible window.
