GUI design - Sketch it out first! (Java / Swing example)  "A picture paints a thousand words" ... and so it is when you're planning a graphic user interface, and implementing it. Yesterday, I picked up an old example of a dialer written in Java - you can see the actual window it generates on the right - and was looking to work out how it hung together. A JFrame called Dialer has a Container called cp contains two Swing Jpanels called upper and lower, which are layed out with gridLayouts. Upper contains 3 components - Jlabels, one of which has no name and the other is called Result, and a JButton called OK,The lower JPanel contains a further 12 JButtons, each of which has a temporary name of current assigned to it as its being defined .... I did say that "A picture paints a Thousand words", didn't I? All this is shown in the diagram to the left. If you would like to see the source code, its available in full here (written 2007-08-30 16:36:58) Associated topics are indexed under J902 - Extending Graphics in Java[1325] Java - Client side applet applications as well as server side - (2007-08-29)
