Lecture 25 Listening to buttons and mice Quotes by Tony HoareLecture 25 Listening to buttons and miceReview of lecture 23:Basic Hierarachy of GUI classesContainer: superclass of all Components that can hold other components.PowerPoint PresentationSlide 7Slide 8Slide 9Slide 10Slide 111Lecture 25 Listening to buttons and miceQuotes by Tony HoareThere are two ways of constructing a software design: (1) make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and (2) make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.Inside every large program is a small program trying to get out.The unavoidable price of reliability is simplicity.I was eventually persuaded of the need to design programming notations so as to maximize the number of errors that cannot be made, or if made, can be reliably detected at compile time.You cannot teach beginners top-down program-ming because they don't know which end is up.2Lecture 25 Listening to buttons and miceReading material is the same as the previous lecture.The programs we demo today are on the website. Download them and experiment with them!Look at java.awt and javax.swing as examples of how one designs a large system of classes. This is not the only way to do GUIs. This is how Java does it.3Review of lecture 23:Lecture 24. We:(1) Looked at different components, like JButton, JPanel.(2) Saw three different layout managers:1. FlowLayout2. BorderLayout3. BoxLayoutThey are used to lay out components as they are added to a container.(3) Saw how to add components to a container. End with pack() and show().4Basic Hierarachy of GUI classesA Component generally has aposition and size, can be painted,can receive input events.Canvas: rectangular componentwith methods for painting it.Subclass it and override methodpaint()Component: abstractContainerWindowFrameJFrameJComponentJPanelJButtonJCheckBoxJComboBoxJLabelJRadioBoxJTextAreaJTextFieldJFileChooserCanvasDialogJDialog5Container: superclass of all Components that can hold other components.Components are generally added to a Container c:c.add(new JButton(“yes”));c.add(new JButton(“no”), “north”);Basic top-level containers: JWindow: top-level window with no borderJFrame: top-level window with border, menubarJDialog: top-level window used for a dialogJPanel, primary use: as a container of other components. Allows one to organize objects into a unit, often to simplify layouts. See this on the next slides.JPanel, secondary use: paint on it with graphics commands --lines, circles, text, etc. (instead of using class Canvas).

That’s how we get the program to listen to mouse events.10/** Demo use of a mouse listener.Instance is a JFrame that is a 2x2 grid of squares, each of class Square, and a button with title "reset". Clicking an empty square draws a pink disk on it. Clicking again removes it. Clicking button "reset" removes all pink disks.This class listens to clicks of the button.Clicks on a square are listened to in class Square. */public class MouseDemo extends JFrame { Box bl= new
