Foil 110 Structure of the java.awt GUI Components - II

From CRPC Lectures on Java Language Applets Graphics CRPC Annual Meeting Tutorial -- May 14,1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox


In the simplest use of AWT, one could add a Button to an Applet (grandchild of Container) using in the init() method for Applet
Button b = new Button("Are You Feeling well");
add(b); // add() is a Container method
The various added Components are put in the panel by the LayoutManager using order in this they were added
A Final critical part of the AWT is the actions generated by these components which are processed by overriding the action() method in Component
action(Event e, Object Anyargemightliketoreturn);
We define extra events -- such as those connected with scrolling or selecting buttons to those of basic mouse/keyboard
