number of years, number of months and number of days.

Code window for the above prgram

Execute the Jframe, On click of JButton1

Application
to Create a

1. Program
Calculator.

Add 4 labels, 3 text fields, 4 buttons to your application by dragging them from the palette. Drag
them one by one, See the below screenshot and rename them and place them in the similar way
as Ive placed.

After
Addition
below

placing them click on

button and write the
code:

double
fnum,
snum,
tot;
fnum
=

Double.parseDouble(jTextField1.getText());
Double.parseDouble(jTextField2.getText());
fnum+snum;
jTextField3.setText(Double.toString(tot));

snum =
tot =

Now go to the Subtraction button and the above code but just replace the addition
operator by subtracting operator, the code will look like this after you replace
double fnum, snum, tot;
fnum = Double.parseDouble(jTextField1.getText());
snum
= Double.parseDouble(jTextField2.getText());
tot = fnum-snum;
jTextField3.setText(Double.toString(tot));

Now go to the Multiplication button and replace the operator by a astrict, it refers to
multiplication operator which will allow you to multiply the numbers
double fnum, snum,
tot;
fnum = Double.parseDouble(jTextField1.getText());
snum =
Double.parseDouble(jTextField2.getText());
tot = fnum*snum;
jTextField3.setText(Double.toString(tot));

Now go to the Division button and replace the operator by a slash, that operator is used
for dividing in computers, after replacing the code will be looking like this
double fnum,
snum, tot;
fnum = Double.parseDouble(jTextField1.getText());
snum = Double.parseDouble(jTextField2.getText());
tot
= fnum/snum;
jTextField3.setText(Double.toString(tot));

After adding the code in all the buttons your code will look similar to the code which Ive shown in
the below Figure.

Application 2.

Radio buttons are usually used to select just one item from a list, rather than the multiple items
available with check boxes. Let's see how they work.
Drag and drop a panel onto your form. Then locate the Radio Button control in the NetBeans
palette. Drag a Radio button onto your new palette. It should look like this:

The default text for the first radio button is jRadioButton1. We'll use our radio buttons to allow a
user to select a payment method. So change the text of your radio button to Credit Card. (The
text can be changed in the same way as you did for check boxes. Again, we'll leave the variable
name on the default of jRadioButton1.)

Add two more radio buttons to the panel. Change the text to Debit Card, and PayPal:

There is, however, a problem with the radio buttons you've just added. To see what the problem is,
run your program again. Now select one of the radio buttons. Try selecting another radio button
and you'll find that you can indeed select more than one at the same time:

With our radio buttons, though, we only want the user to select one payment option. To solve the
problem, Java lets you to create something called a ButtonGroup. As its name suggest, this
allows you to group buttons under one name. You can then add radio buttons to the group. Once
you've added buttons to the group, only one option is available for selection.
Add a Button Group to the panel (Fig:1) and set the button group property of each button to the
Button Group1 (Fig:2).

Fig:1

Fig:2

following:

Check Box
Check boxes are similar to radio buttons but their selection model is different. Each Check box
component works independently of each other and so the user can select any number of check
boxes from an interface. A group of radio buttons, on the other hand, can have only one button
selected. A Check box can be added from the Swing Control menu as shown in the below Figure.

Code for the Sports charges application:

List Box and Combo Box

A List(also called list box) component displays a list of values/options from which single or multiple
values/items can be selected. When we place a list on JFrame form the default model property of
the list (default values in the list) has values as Item1, Item2and so on as shown in below Fig1.
The selectionMode property is set to MULTIPLE_INTERVAL by default ensuring that a user can
select multiple items from the list. These properties can be changed using the properties window
as shown in Fig:2.

Fig:1(

default values in the) list

Fig:2 Common Property of List

The selectionMode property has three possible values. The usage of each of these values is
explained below:
SINGLE implies that List box will allow only a single value to be selected.
SINGLE_INTERVAL implies that List box allows single continuous selection of options
using shift key of keyboard (i.e. values which occur in succession).
MULTIPLE_INTERVAL implies that List box allows multiple selections of options using
ctrl key of keyboard.
The model property is used to change the choices displayed in the list. The values can be updated
by clicking on the ellipsis(..) next to the property in the properties window as displayed in the
below Figure:

21

Modifying the model property of the jList component results in a change in the values displayed in
the list as shown in the below Figure.

Let us now design an application Restra Order using the food list created to help us understand
how to use a list component in an application. Design the form as shown in the above Figure. The
form consists of a list, a button, a text field and two labels - one for explaining the selection
process and one for indicating that the payable amount is in rupees. The aim of the application is
to allow the user to place an order for multiple items displayed in the list and display the bill
amount in the text field which will be calculated on the basis of the items selected. The menu
options are shown in the below Figure:

22

Let us now write the code for the above application as shown below:
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{
int
Total=0;
//Bhel Puri, Pasta, Pizza, Burger; if
(jList1.isSelectedIndex(0)==true)
{
Total=Total+150;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Bhel Puri Ordered Rs.150");
} if (jList1.isSelectedIndex(1)==true)
{
Total=Total+300;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Pasta Ordered Rs.300");
} if (jList1.isSelectedIndex(2)==true)
{
Total=Total+200;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Pizza Ordered Rs.200");
} if (jList1.isSelectedIndex(3)==true)
{
Total=Total+180;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Burger Ordered Rs.180");
}

if (jList1.isSelectedIndex(4)==true)

{
Total=Total+220;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,"Pav Bhaji Ordered Rs.220");
23

jTextField1.setText(Integer.toString(Total));

The above code introduces us to a new method - isSelectedIndex() method. This method is used
to check whether the index specified in the parenthesis has been selected or not.
The syntax of this method is given below:
Syntax:
jList.isSelectedIndex(int num)
The num is an integer value and represents the index value to be checked. The index numbering
starts at 0. This method returns a boolean value i.e. true or false. The true indicates that the value
at the specified index is selected and false indicates that the value is not selected.

Combo Box
This control is used to display a list of choices from which the user can choose a single option.
The difference between combo box and list box control is that a list box control allows user to
make one or more selections whereas a combo box control allows the user to make single
selection.
24

A Simple Combo Box

When we place a combo box on the JFrame form by default it shows Item1 as the first value as
shown in the above Figure. A Combo box appears like a text field with a drop down list arrow.
The common properties of the Combo Box can be edited using the properties window as shown
in below Figure.

Common Properties of the Combo Box Component

The default values displayed in a combo box are Item1, Item 2 and so on. These can be edited by
clicking on the ellipse() next to the values. Let us create a combo box having the name of cities.
Drag the Combo Box component from the Swing Controls tab and then type the items that we
want to be displayed in the combo box by clicking on the model property ellipse button. The new
values we typed in are shown in the below Figure.
25

Modifying the model Property of a Combo Box

Now Bangalore is the first value in the model property therefore on the form Bangalore will be
displayed with a drop down list arrow as shown in the above Figure.
Let us design an application called City Highlights to learn the usage of combo box. Design a
simple form with a combo box (containing names of 5 cities) and a button with display text as
"Know More". The required functionality is that on executing the application City Highlights, the
user should select a particular city and click on the button to view some additional information
about the city. Sample run of the application is shown in the below Figure.

26

Sample Run of the City Highlights Application

The code for the City Highlights application is as shown below:

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{
if (jComboBox1.getSelectedIndex()==0)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,jComboBox1.getSelectedIte m()+
" - Known as Silicon Valley of India");
(jComboBox1.getSelectedIndex()==1)

else if

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,jComboBox1.getSelectedI tem()+
" - Capital City of India");
else if (jComboBox1.getSelectedIndex()==2)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,jComboBox1.getSelectedI tem()+
" - Known for broad Industrial Base");
(jComboBox1.getSelectedIndex()==3)

else if

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, jComboBox1.getSelectedItem()+
" - Known for literary, artistic and revolutionary heritage");
else if
(jComboBox1.getSelectedIndex()==4)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this,jComboBox1.getSelectedI tem()+
" - Known for hub of Bollywood");
}
27

This code introduces us to two new methods, the getSelectedIndex() method and
thegetSelectedItem() method. The syntax and usage of each of these methods is explained below:
1. getSelectedIndex() - This method is used to return the index of the selected item. If an item is
selected only then will the getSelectedIndex method return a value else it returns -1. The syntax of
this method is given below: Syntax:
jComboBox.getSelectedIndex()
2. getSelectedItem() - This method is used to return the selected item. The syntax of this method is
given below: Syntax:
jComboBox.getSelectedItem()

(named txtNetAmt) uneditable.
(ii) Write code to do the following:
(a) . When "Calculate Discount" button is clicked the discount should be calculated as per the
given criteria and it should be displayed in the discount textfield. "Calculate Net Amount"
button (named btnCalcNetAmt) should also be enabled.
(b) When "Calculate Net Amount" button is clicked the net amount should be calculated and it
should be displayed in the net amount textfield.
6. Write a code for the following window that builds a list as the user enters new values. As the
user enters more and more name of books the list should grow. Add four command

10. Menus
You can add menus to your Java forms, things like File, Edit, View, etc. Each menu has menu
items, and these in turn can have sub menus.
Return to Design view. In the NetBeans palette, locate the Menu Bar item:

Drag one to the top of your form. When you let the mouse button go, you'll have a default File and
Edit menu bar:
30

There's no menu items added by default, though. To add your own, click on the File menu item to
select it. With the File menu item selected, right-click. A new menu will appear. Select Add From
Palette > Menu Item:

A Menu Item will be added to your File menu:

What we'll do is to add menu items to open and save a file.

Double click on the default text jMenuItem1. It will then be highlighted, so that you can type over
it:

Type Open, then press the enter key on your keyboard:

Add another menu item in the same way. This time, type Save as the menu item:

31

As you can see above, you can add shortcuts for your menu items. Click on to the Open menu
item, then onto the shortcut for it:

With the shortcut item selected, have a look at the properties window:

Locate the Accelerator item, and click the small button to the right of the row. A dialogue box
appears. You can set which shortcut keys you want for a menu item from this dialogue box. An
open shortcut is usually CTRL + O.
Type an O in the box, and Shift + O will appear. Uncheck the Shift item and check Ctrl instead:

32

Click OK, and the shortcut will be added to your Java menu item:

To see if all this works, click back on the Open menu item to highlight it. Now right click. From the
menu that appears, select Events > Action > Action Performed. This will create a code stub for
the menu item. Enter the following for the code:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Open");
This will display just a message box.
Run your programme and try it out. Click File > Open and you should see the message box
appear. Click OK to get rid of it. Now try your shortcut. Hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard.
Keep it held down and press the letter O. Again, the menu should appear. Sample run of the
application is shown in the below Figure.

Create a GUI application to obtain the details of a student, such as roll

number, name, class, subject, and marks through text fields and add them in a table. The
application should also provide the option to display total count of records in the table along
with the option to exit from the application. The GUI of the application should appear as
shown the below figure:

Answer: Perform the following steps to create such an application:

1. Create a new application in NetBeans IDE and add a frame to it.
2. Add a Table control by dragging and dropping it onto the frame from the Swing controls
section of Palette pane, as shown in the below figure:

3. Right-click on the table and change the variable name as StdntTbl.

4. While keeping the table selected, click the ellipsis button of the model property in the
Properties dialog box. A dialog box appears.
5. Set the number of rows (initially) as well as the heading of columns in this dialog box. Now,
specify the column headings as RollNO, Name, Class, Subject, MaxMarks, MarksObt. Set
the rows field in the button left corner as 0 (zero), because we do not want any initial rows
(rows will be added during the runtime). After that, click the OK button, as shown in the
below figure:

6. Now, add the text fields and button controls to your application and arrange them as shown
in the below figure:

7. To append the values that are entered in the text fields to the StdntTbl table as rows, you
need to double click the Add Row button and type the following code:
Object [] addRows={jTextField1.getText(),jTextField2.getText(),jTextField3.getText(),
jTextField4.getText(), jTextFiled5.getText(), jTextField6.getText()}; DefaultTableModel
dtm=(DefaultTableModel) jTable1.getModel(); dtm.addRow(addRows);
jTextField1.setText(" "); jTextField2.setText("
"); jTextField3.setText(" ");
jTextField4.setText(" "); jTextField5.setText("
"); jTextField6.setText(" ");
To display total number of records in table, double click the Count Total Record button and
add the following lines of code:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Total
are :"+jTable1.getRowCount());

the one shown in the below figure.

4. First you need to include import statement import java.awt.Color; at the top of your
application. Now double click the apply foreground button (forBtn) button and add the
following code in the action event handler of this button:
Color forgrndColor=jColorChooser1.getColor();
disLabel.setForeground(forgrndColor);
5. Double click the apply Background (backBn) button and add the following code in the
action event handler of this button:
Color backgrndColor= jColorChooser1.getColor();
disLabel.setBackground(backgrndColor);
6. Double click the exit (exitBtn) button and add the following code in the action event
handler of this button:
System.exit(0);

7. Finally save and run your application. The output is shown in the below figure:
