How Do These Concepts Translate into Code?

Visual Index to Swing Components

Now that you've gotten a taste of how to build your own Swing programs, this section gives a quick, visual reference of the Swing components so you can find more information online and on the CD. The components are broken down into six categories: top-level containers, general-purpose containers, special-purpose containers, basic controls, uneditable information displays, and editable displays of formatted information.
