Additional Capabilities of the AWT
The AWT has many additional capabilities. It can create separate windows either in the form of frames or dialog boxes.
- Frames have menubars, with menus
- One can dynamically make frames appear and disappear.
The “swing” set has more advanced features such as internal frames, dynamically sized tables, trees, color choosers, overlapping components, progress bars, popup menus and many other sophisticated user interface elements.
