Java GUI

Making a Little Java Program

Sec. 1: Imports and starting it off
Sec. 2: Variables
Sec. 3: Frame and Stuff
Sec. 4: Declaring buttons
Sec. 5: Adding buttons
Sec. 6: Action Listening
Sec. 7: Using this for a learning experience

Section 1

Now, let's think. What imports do we need? We obviously need GUI imports. We also need the action Listener. So,
let's declare this at the very top:

Code:That's all we need to get all our supplies. Now to start us off.
Skip a couple lines and add:

Code:Section 2

Let's declare our variables.
Right below the class, add

Code:I will tell you about this later.

Section 3

This is in all java programs. To start it and load everything, you must add:

Code:We must now add the frame, so skip a 2 lines and add:

Code:Ending the statement, add one last "}"

Section 4

Now add:

Code:

Code:That adds the button vars.

Section 5

Let's add the buttons now. Add right below that, add:

Code:That adds the buttons on.

Section 6

Let's make the outcome of clicking the button. Add:

Code:

Now save and compile. Now run the program and see what the outcome is.

Section 7

This will help you understand all the functions of java GUI.

note:i copied this from my word and pasted it here hope this helps ya out im sorry if i misspelled anything i type fast

Great tutorial! I still hate java though. I remember learning gui in java about four years ago, and it was hell for me. This probably would have made it a bit easier but I much prefer c++ to java when making gui applications. Anyway great tut! Keep up the good work!

These languages confuse me but at the same time fascinate me as some gibberish can turn into such good creation such as a great and a profitable web site. Thanks man love you as I wanted to just learn this.

the reason why i like java more is because i could just use the exception handling for the errors. but i have to admit i'm not a great programmer at all. i never really appreciated c/c++ because of the complicated pointers. programming with pointers was hell for me.

anyways, great tutorial for starters.
