    Study Notes

    AWT Event Handling

    • The term event describes the change in state of an object.

    • Events are triggered by user interaction with GUI components.

    • User interaction includes clicking a button, moving the mouse, keyboard input, selecting list items, or scrolling.

    • Events can be classified into two categories:

      Foreground Events

      • Occur due to direct user interaction with GUI components
      • Examples include clicking a button, moving the mouse, keyboard input, selecting list items, or scrolling.

      Background Events

      • Occur without direct user interaction.
      • Examples include operating system interrupts, hardware/software failures, timer expirations, or operation completions.

    • Event Handling is the mechanism that controls events and determines the appropriate response to them.

    • The event handling mechanism uses event handlers, which are code segments executed when an event occurs.

    • Java employs the Delegation Event Model for event handling, which defines a standard way to generate and manage events.

    • Key participants in the Delegation Event Model:

      Source

      • The object where the event occurs.
      • Provides information about the event to its handler.
      • Java provides classes for creating source objects.

      Listener

      • Also known as the event handler.
      • Responsible for generating a response to an event.
      • Implemented as an object.
      • Waits for event notifications and then triggers a response.
      • Responds to events by displaying results to the user.

    • GUI is based on events.

    • Examples of GUI events include clicking a button, closing a window, opening a window, or typing in a text area.

    • GUI aids user interaction and application design, making applications user-friendly.

    Basic Terminologies

    • Component - A GUI object with a visual representation on the screen that enables user interaction.
    • Container - A component that can hold other components.
    • Panel - A container that provides space for attaching other components.
    • Window - A rectangular area displayed on the screen, allowing for separate program execution and data display.
    • Frame - Similar to a Window, but includes a title bar, menu bar, borders, and resizing corners.
    • Canvas - A blank rectangular area on the screen used for drawing and capturing user input.

    Examples of GUI Based Applications

    • Automated Teller Machine (ATM)
    • Airline Ticketing System
    • Information Kiosks at railway stations
    • Mobile Applications
    • Navigation Systems

    Advantages of GUI over CUI

    • GUI offers visual icons for interaction, while CUI relies on text-based interfaces.
    • GUI makes applications more engaging, while CUI lacks visual appeal.
    • GUI provides a click-and-execute environment, while CUI requires commands for each task.
    • GUI is easier for new users with visual indicators compared to CUI's text-based commands.
    • GUI offers more file system and operating system control than CUI, which relies on commands.
    • GUI windows allow multitasking with multiple applications, while CUI manages one task at a time.
    • GUI provides a multitasking environment, but with greater ease and efficiency than CUI.
    • GUI simplifies operating system navigation and control, while CUI relies heavily on commands.
    • GUI can be easily customized.

    Java AWT Hierarchy

    • The Container class is a component in AWT capable of holding other components, such as buttons, text fields, and labels.
    • Container subclasses include Frame, Dialog, and Panel, all of which are containers.
    • Window is a container without borders or menu bars and requires a Frame, Dialog, or another Window as an owner when created.
    • Panel is a container without a title bar or menu bar, but can include other components like buttons or text fields.

    Java AWT TextField Example

    • The example demonstrates using a TextField object for text input.
    • The code creates a Frame window with two TextField objects.
    • The setBounds method sets the position and size of each TextField.
    • The add method adds the TextFields to the Frame.
    • The setSize method sets the Frame's size.
    • The setLayout method sets the layout for the Frame, in this case, null.
    • The setVisible method makes the Frame visible.
    • The output is a window with two text fields.

    Java AWT Choice

    • The Choice class creates a popup menu with a selection list.
    • Users can choose from the available options in the popup menu
    • The Choice object is a subclass of Component.
    • The example code creates a Frame with a Choice object.
    • The add method adds items (Strings) to the Choice list.
    • The setBounds method sets the position and size of the Choice object.
    • The add method adds the Choice object to the Frame.
    • The setSize method sets the Frame's size.
    • The setLayout method sets the layout for the Frame, in this case, null.
    • The setVisible method makes the Frame visible.
    • The output is a window with a popup menu containing the added list items.

    Java AWT List

    • The List class represents a list of text items, allowing users to select one or multiple items.
    • The List object is a subclass of Component.
    • The example creates a Frame with a List object.
    • The add method adds items (Strings) to the List.
    • The setBounds method sets the position and size of the List object.
    • The add method adds the List object to the Frame.
    • The setSize method sets the Frame's size.
    • The setLayout method sets the layout for the Frame, in this case, null.
    • The setVisible method makes the Frame visible.
    • The output is a window with a list containing the added items.

    Java AWT Scrollbar

    • The Scrollbar class creates a horizontal or vertical scrollbar.
    • Scrollbars enable viewing content that exceeds the visible area.
    • The example code creates a Frame window with one Scrollbar.
    • The setBounds method sets the position and size of the Scrollbar.
    • The add method adds the Scrollbar to the Frame.
    • The setSize method sets the Frame's size.
    • The setLayout method sets the layout for the Frame, in this case, null.
    • The setVisible method makes the Frame visible.
    • The output is a window with a scrollbar.

    Java AWT TextArea

    • The TextArea class represents a multi-line region that displays and allows editing of text.
    • The next section of the text provides an example of how to implement a TextArea using Java AWT.
