Book Description
From Sun Microsystems Press and Prentice Hall comes the
definitive guide to Swing: an exhaustive reference spanning
more than 1600 pages. Clearly and concisely written and
loaded with illustrative code examples, Graphic Java provides
the most comprehensive Swing coverage available.
Part I (360 pages) discusses fundamental Swing concepts
such as Swing component architecture, the JComponent class,
borders, icons, actions, Swing and multithreading, Swing
utilities, and pluggable look and feel.
Swing components are the focus throughout the rest of the
book. In addition to code examples that illustrate component
use, components are further explored with class diagrams,
property and event tables, and a look at AWT compatibility.
The final third of the book is devoted to Swing's most
complex components: lists, combo boxes, tables, trees, and
the text package.
