Simple Gui Control Frame: Jcheckbox Jslider Jtetris

This document provides sample code for a simple GUI control frame in Java that demonstrates basic use of a JCheckBox and JSlider. The code creates a frame with a content pane that uses flow layout. It adds a panel containing a checkbox and label, as well as a slider and labels. Getters allow accessing the state of the checkbox and value of the slider later. The code shows how to set up and add GUI controls to a frame in Java.

Simple GUI Control Frame


Thanks to Nick Parlante for much of this handout

Soon, we will have complete coverage of Swing GUI coding, controls etc. This handout shows the basic use
of JCheckBox and JSlider in a frame, just to the extent needed for Tetris. You can also look at the
JTetris source code, which demonstrates correct use of these controls. The source code for this example
is also available in the hw directory.

/*
ControlFrame.java
Demonstrates basic use of JCheckBox and JSlider
*/
import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class ControlFrame extends JFrame {


// keep ivars pointing to on-screen objects that
// we want to access later
private JPanel panel;
private JCheckBox checkbox;
private JLabel label;
private JSlider slider;

// Set up the frame -- create and install some controls in the frame
public ControlFrame(String title) {
super(title); // superclass ctor takes frame title

// Get content pane -- contents of the window


JComponent content = (JComponent) getContentPane();

// Set to use the "flow" layout


// (controls the arrangement of the components in the content)
content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

// ****
// Set up controls in the frame
// ****

// Create a vertical box component


JComponent box = new JPanel();
box.setLayout(new BoxLayout(box, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
content.add(box);

// make a little panel to group a couple things


panel = new JPanel();

// install the panel


box.add(panel);

// put a label in the panel


panel.add(new JLabel("Left Label"));

// put a checkbox in the panel


checkbox = new JCheckBox("Panic Mode");
panel.add(checkbox);

box.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(20)); // 20 pixels vertical space

// put some things in the box


box.add(new JLabel("Speed:"));

// slider has min, max, and current int values


slider = new JSlider(0, 100, 50); // min, max, current
box.add(slider);

box.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(20));
box.add(new JLabel("Bottom Label"));

// later, access the control's state with:


// (boolean) checkbox.isSelected()
// (int) slider.getValue()

// ****
// Done installing controls
// ****

// Standard three lines to put frame on screen


pack();
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true); // make it show up on screen
}

public static void main(String[] args) {


// Set GUI Look And Feel Boilerplate.
// Do this incantation at the start of main() to tell Swing
// to use the GUI LookAndFeel of the native platform. It's ok
// to ignore the exception.
try {
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
} catch (Exception ignored) { }

new ControlFrame("Control Frame");


}
}
