What is a JPanel?

A container that allows you to group multiple components together.

Describe JPanel swing components.

JPanel objects are placed one below the other.

Layout of the Login App?

For the frame: Grid layout with 2 rows and 1 column, for the panels: Grid Layout (pnlUserDetails), FlowLayout (pnlButtons).

What does 'this.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 1))' do?

Sets the layout of the frame to a GridLayout with 2 rows and 1 column.

Study Notes

GUI design uses panels, specifically with a login application using common swing objects.
Swing objects are grouped to work with layout managers.
Labels and text fields are arranged in a grid layout (2 rows, 2 columns).
Buttons are arranged in a FlowLayout.
JPanel objects can place swing items together in a group.

JPanel Swing Components and Frame

The frame consists of 2 JPanel swing components, one below the other.
A grid layout for the frame arranges 2 items below each other, using 2 rows and 1 column.

The LoginGUI class extends JFrame and implements ActionListener.
Required variables for swing objects are declared.
pnlUserDetails and pnlButtons are private JPanel objects.

Constructing Swing Objects

New JLabel objects are created for "Username" and "Password".
JTextField and JPasswordField objects are created with a size of 15.
JButton objects are created for "Login", "Exit", and "Clear".
JPanel objects are instantiated for pnlUserDetails and pnlButtons.

Setting the Frame Layout

A GridLayout with 2 rows and 1 column organizes the GUI frame.

Setting the Layout of Panels

pnlUserDetails uses a GridLayout (2, 2).
pnlButtons uses a FlowLayout for button arrangement.

Adding Swing Components to Panels

Labels and text fields for username and password add to pnlUserDetails.
Login, Exit, and Clear buttons add to pnlButtons.

Adding Panels to the Frame

pnlUserDetails and pnlButtons add to the frame.

Executing the Application

The RunLoginGui class contains the main method.
An instance of LoginGui is created and its properties are configured.
The default close operation is set to JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE.
The size of the GUI is set to 800x800 pixels
The GUI is made visible.
