SWING - Control

Each user interface considers three main areas:

UI elements: A core visual element that the user eventually sees and interacts with. GWT provides a large list of widely used and common elements that we will cover in this tutorial from basic to complex.
Layout: They define how UI elements should be organized on the screen and provide a final look and feel to the GUI (graphical user interface). This section will be covered in the layout chapter.
Behavior: These events occur when a user interacts with a UI element. This section will be covered in this chapter on incident handling.

SWING control

Each SWING control inherits properties from the hierarchy of the following component classes.

Serial number	Class and description
1	Component Container is an abstract base class for SWING's non-menu user interface controls. A component represents an object that is graphically represented
2	Container Container is a component that can contain other SWING components.
3	JComponent JComponent is a base class for all swing UI components. In order to use a Swing component inherited from JComponent, the component must be an inclusive hierarchy whose root is a top-level Swing container.
