Question 17.
How the use of layout manager is important?
Answer:
Layout Managers
The layout managers are used to set the control of the visual components used with a GUI form to determine the size and position of the component within the container. There are various layout managers used in the swing control. These are as follows:
- BorderLayout The BorderLayout manager arranges the components of a container in North, South, East, West and Center position of the container.
- FlowLayout The FlowLayout manager arranges the components of a container line wise from left to right in row. If there are more control that cannot be fitted within a line, then those are shifted to successive lines.
- Grid! ayout The GridLayout manager places the components of a container in a grid of equally sized cells. These grids are added from left to right direction and top to bottom direction.
- CardLayout The CardLayout manager helps in managing many controls that are occupying the same display area. These components are of same size occupying the same display area, so only the top card is visible at any time. At the design time, with the help of Inspector windows, we can define which component will be displayed at the top.
- GridBagLayout The GridBagLayout manager can provide precise control over all aspects of the layout. Whenever we are resizing the container, it maintains a consistent appearance across platforms.
- SpringLayout The SpringLayout manager helps in defining the directional relation between the edges of the components.
- BoxLayout The BoxLayout manager helps in arranging multiple components in either vertical or horizontal direction. The components are arranged either in left to right or top to bottom. i.e. in the way they are added to the container.
Question 18.
Explain container component.
Answer:
Components
A swing component is a graphical tool that can be customised according to the requirement of the user and inserted into the application, whenever needed. e.g. JButton, JTextField, JLabel, etc.
Container
A container is a type of component which can hold other components. e.g. JFrame, JApplet, JDialog, etc.
The components contained in a container are called child components. A container and its child components can be moved, hidden, shown in single operation. If you move a container then its child components will also move along with it.
A container can be divided into two categories:
(i) Top-Level Container A top-level container is that container which can be displayed on the desktop directly.
(ii) Non-Top-Level Container A non-top-level container is that container, which can be displayed within the context of another top level component. It can be used for general purpose or specific purpose.
Question 19.
What is an event? What is event handler?
Answer:
Events Haiidfing
The events are the occurrence of some activity either initiated by the user or internally by the program or the computer itself. For handling the events, there are three essential things namely the event source, the event handler and the event object.
- Event source The event source is the GUI component e.g. when a button is clicked it generates an event so, button is an event source. When at runtime the cursor is placed within the textfield then focusgained event is generated, in this case, text field would be an event source.
- Event handler The event handler or event listener, analysis the received event and after computing some value according to defined procedure, the same is displayed for the user’s reference.
- Event object Whenever during the execution of the program the event is generated, the event object is created and is passed to the event listener.
Defining an Event Handler For defining the event handler, we can follow these steps:
- First we have to select the component.
- Then, we need to click on the event tab in the properties window or we can right click on the component and select the desired event from the submenu on the contextual menu.
- Thereafter, we need to type the source code in the source code edìtor for handling the event related to that particular component.
Question 20.
Why are we using the label?
Answer:
Label
The label is a swing control, which is used to display an uneditable text or image. A label is created through JEabel component. The text to be displayed in the label is provided in the text property of the label or through programming code to be accessed at run time.
Question 21.
Which command is needed to make a button work as an Exit button?
Answer:
To make a button work as Exit button, we need to write in action performed( ) event handler of the button and then we write the following command:
System.exit(O);
Question 22.
What will be the contents of jTextAreal after executing the following statement?
jTextAreal.setText(“Object\nOriented \tProgramming”);
Answer:
When the given code is executed, the following output will be produced:

Question 35.
What is a combo box? What is the default state of a combo box? How can we set a combo box to editable or uneditable?
Answer:
The combo box is a combination of a list box and a text field. Infact, it will display a text field alongwith a drop-down list of values from which the user and selection a value at runtime. If the combo box is set to editable, then the user can either enter a value in the text field or select an option from the dropdown list.
By default the editable property of a combo box is uneditable. We can set the editable property of a combo box to true or false, to make it editable or uneditable, respectively by using setEditable (boolean b) method.
Question 36.
Define password field. Which property allows you to change the default character of password field?
Answer:
The password field is used to accept the password for an application during the execution of a program. The password field is similar to text field but the text displayed in a password field in form of echo character (echoChar).
The default character is *. It means whatever characters the user enters in this field during the execution of the program, an echo character (usually *) will be displayed for the same. To change the character to be displayed in the password field, we can use the echoChar property of the password field. Using this property, we can set a character in the echoChar field. Suppose, we want to change the default character to $, then we have to set $ character in the echoChar property.
Question 37.
Explain text area control. Which property used to set the color of the text to be displayed in the text area?
Answer:
The text area is a control which enables the user to enter multiline text. This control provides an editable area for blocks or multiple lines for the text. It means the user enter multiline text in this field. To set the text color of the text in the text area, we can set the desired color in the foreground property of the text area.
Question 38.
Which method is used to set the text area as editable or uneditable?
Answer:
To determine whether the text area is editable or not, we have to use the void setEditable(boolean b) method. This method is used to set whether the user can edit the text being displayed in text area or not i.e. to set the editable property to true or false. General syntax of this property is as follows:
<textarea_name>.setEditable(true): or <textarea_name>.setEditable(false);
Question 39.

Question 41.
Briefly explain the two types of swing components?
Answer:
Types of Swing Controls
There are various types of swing controls in Java. These are defined hereunder:
- Basic Controls These controls are primarily used to get input from the user or to show some information. These are the simple controls, è.g. JButton, JList, JCheckBox, JRadioButton, JComboBox, etc.
- interactive Display The interactive display type controls display the formatted information which can be formatted by the user. The controls include JTextPane, J ColorChooser, JTable, JTextArea, etc.
Question 42.
What is a combo box? What are the advantages of combo box over list box?
Answer:
A combo box is a mixture of a text box and list box. It is a graphical control that displays a list of values in drop-down list form and a text field, where the user can enter a new value or can modify an existing value. The advantages of a combo box over list box can be understood with the following points:
- A combo box takes less space on the screen, compared to a list box.
- A combo box offers editing features through a text field but list box not.
- In a combo box, only single item needs to be selected but in list box multiple items can be selected.
Question 43.
How a list is different from a combo box?
Answer:
A list is different from the combo box. Common basis of difference of a list and combo box can be stated in following points:
- A list does not have a text field, whereas a combo box is a combination of a text field and a list.
- The list displays all items inside it together i.e. it does not drop-down, so it takes more space on the screen, whereas a combo box has a drop-down control. Initially the combo box takes less space on the screen, when the user clicks on the arrow, which at the right of the combo box it drops-down.
- In a list, one or more items can be selected, whereas from a combo box only one item can be selected.
- In a list, the user has to select the desired item directly from the list, whereas in a combo box the user can either select the items from the list or enter it directly in the text box.
Question 44.
Differentiate between a text field and text area.
Answer:
A text field is used to accept an input from the user at runtime. It is an object of the class JTextField, which is displayed as a field and where the user can enter a single line of text. It can also be used to display the text as a result of an operation. It can also be made uneditable. In such situation, the text field will display uneditable text.
Whereas the text area is a control which enables the user to enter multiline text. This control provides an editable area for blocks or multiple lines for the text. Like the text box, it can also be made uneditable, to display multiple lines of output only.
Question 45.
Why an Exit button is used? How can you create an Exit button?
Answer:
An Exit button is used to close an application. To create an Exit button, we have to follow these steps:
- First of all we have to create a button in the application of JButton component type.
- Using the text property, we have to set the text as Exit.
- Thereafter we have to add an action event listener to the button. For this we have to double click the button in the design view (alternatively, we can click on the event handler name actionPerformed in the event tab of property window).
- Then we need to type the following code to action Performed!) method:
System.exit(O);
Question 46.
What is the importance of button group? How can we create a button group?
Answer:
A button group can be created to make a group of buttons that are mutually exclusive. It means when we select a particular button other buttons will be automatically cleared and in a group only one button could be selected. Usually, radio buttons show such type of behaviour. To create a button group, we follow these steps:
- First we have to add a container ( like a panel) to hold the set of radio buttons.
- Thereafter we give the panel titled border (though this step is optional).
- Click at the button group control on palette and drag the same to the design space.
- Thereafter for each selectable option, we have to add a JRadioButton to the container panel.
Question 47.
How is a getText() method different from a getPassword() method?
Answer:
The getText() method returns the text displayed by the text field. For instance, if a text field jTextl contains the word “Computer”. Then, if we apply the following code segment:
String result = jTextl.getText!); System.out.println(result);
The result will show “Computer” as output. Whereas the getPassword( ) method is used with a password field. It returns the text displayed by a password field. For instance, if a password field jPassI contains the word “PASS”.
Then, if we apply the following code segment:
String result = String.valueof (jPassl.getPassword!)); System.out.println(result);
The result will show “PASS” as output.
Question 48.
What is the use of following methods?
(i) isEditable()
(ii) setEditable()
(iii) getEchoChar()
Answer:
(i) isEditable( ) This method determines whether a text field is editable or not. It is a boolean method which returns either true or false, to state if the specified text field or text area is editable or not.
(ii) setEditable() This method is used to make a text field editable or not. This is a boolean method, which is used to set the state or text field or text area to true or false, to state whether we want to make the text field or text area editable or uneditable.
(iii) getEchoChar( ) This method returns the echo character, i.e. the character which is displayed in the password field. By default it is *. But we can change it to any other character by using the setEchoChar(Char) method.
Question 49.
Why LineWrap and WrapStyleWord properties of a text area are used?
Answer:
LineWrap The LineWrap property determines whether a line of text in a text area should wrap, if it is too long for the allocated width of the component. We can set true or false value for this property. The default value is false.
WrapStyleWord The WrapStyleWord property of text area determines, where the wrapping occurs. We can set it to true or false. If it is set to true the wrap will be attempted only at the word boundaries. This property will work only when the line wrap property is set to true otherwise it is ignored. The default setting for the property is false.
Question 50.
Explain the significance of a checkbox. What are the common properties of a checkbox?

Text It is used to specify the text to be displayed with the radio button. Enabled It is used to set whether the button is active or not.
Question 52.
Define label. How is it different from a text box?
Answer:
The label is a swing control which is used to display an uneditable text or image. The text to be displayed in the label is provided in the text property of the label. In Java language, the label is created through JLabel class type component. The actual text to display in the label is controlled by text property of the label and in any way it is not editable at runtime.
Whereas a text box or a text field provided in Java language is used to enter or display a single line of text. A text field can be made uneditable using the setEditable(boolean) property. In such case, the text field will display some message like a label only and the user cannot enter anything in this field

Question 61.
Briefly explain the procedure to add a new row in a given table.
Answer:
Adding a New Row into the Table
To add a new row in the table, we have to follow these steps:
(i) Firstly, keep in your mind, the structure of the table should be in exact order i.e. the name of the columns and the data types being stored should be in order.
(ii) Then, we have to create an object array out of in order data for the new row to be added in the table as per following
syntax: Object newrow[] — {values...};
These values can be specified in the form of values or obtained values from the text boxes.
(iii) Thereafter, obtain the model for the table as per following syntax
DefaultlableModel <identifier) — (DefaultTableModel)table_narne.getModel();
If the above statement shows error then import the required package as follows: import javax.swing.table.*:
(iv) Thereafter, we have to add the object array created in step (ii) into the model created in step (iii) by using the addRow() method as per following syntax:
<Default_table_model_object>.addRow(<object_array....containing row_data>);
