Working with Abstract Windowing Toolkit(AWT) in Java:
Hi, readers, in this post we are going to discuss what is an abstract windowing toolkit in java? The Abstract Windowing Toolkit(AWT) in java is nothing but a package that provides an integrated set of classes to manage user interface components like Windows, dialog boxes, buttons, checkboxes, list menus, scrollbars and text fields.The Java.awt package contains all classes for creating the user interface and for painting graphics and images.
The AWT has several sub-systems that support the development of a GUI program. The subsystems include:
1. drawing and rendering of lines and images.
2.components such as labels, buttons and text field.
3. containers that include frames, panel and dialog boxes.
4. layout manager that controls the displaying in a portable manner.
5. event system allows the user to respond to the interaction between components and containers in the application.
commonly used abstract window classes are:
- Container
- Component
- Button
- Label
- Checkbox
- Scrollbars
- Event
