With this example we shall show you how to create a JButton component for your Java Desktop Application. JButtons are very frequently used, and it is a very standard practice to use buttons for basic input operations in GUI applications.
It’s very easy to create a JButton, as all you have to do is:
- Create a class tha extends
JFrame. - Create the JButons you want.
- Use
addmethod to addJButtonsto the frame.
Let’s see the code snippet that follows:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.desktop;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class CreateJButtonExample extends JFrame {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public CreateJButtonExample() {
// set flow layout for the frame
this.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JButton button1 = new JButton();
button1.setText("Java Code Geeks");
JButton button2 = new JButton("Java Examples & Code Snippets");
// add buttons to frame
add(button1);
add(button2);
}
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
//Create and set up the window.
JFrame frame = new CreateJButtonExample();
//Display the window.
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
//creating and showing this application's GUI.
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
}
}
This was an example on how to create a JButton.
