JPanel is a fundamental container class in Java Swing, used to group and organize GUI

components. Here are its key features:

# Layout Management
1. *Default Layout*: JPanel uses FlowLayout by default, which arranges components in a
horizontal row.
2. *Custom Layout*: You can set a custom layout manager using the `setLayout()` method.

# Component Management
1. *Adding Components*: Use the `add()` method to add components to the panel.
2. *Removing Components*: Use the `remove()` method to remove components from the
panel.

# Appearance
1. *Background Color*: Set the background color using the `setBackground()` method.
2. *Border*: Add a border using the `setBorder()` method.

# Event Handling
1. *Event Listeners*: Add event listeners to handle events such as mouse clicks, key
presses, and more.

# Other Features
1. *Double Buffering*: JPanel supports double buffering, which improves performance by
reducing flicker.
2. *Accessibility*: JPanel supports accessibility features, making it easier to create GUIs that
can be used by people with disabilities.

# Example Use Case


```
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class MyPanel extends JPanel {


public MyPanel() {
// Set the layout manager
setLayout(new BorderLayout());

// Add components
add(new JButton("Click me!"), BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(new JLabel("Hello, World!"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
}

public static void main(String[] args) {


// Create a new JFrame
JFrame frame = new JFrame("My Panel");

// Add the panel to the frame


frame.add(new MyPanel());
// Set the frame's size and make it visible
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
```

In this example, we create a custom JPanel class (`MyPanel`) that extends the JPanel class.
We set the layout manager to BorderLayout, add a JButton and a JLabel to the panel, and
then add the panel to a new JFrame.

JButton in Java is a GUI component that allows users to click and perform actions. Here's an
overview:

# JButton Features
1. *Text and Icons*: JButton can display text, icons, or both.
2. *Events*: JButton generates events when clicked, which can be handled using event
listeners.
3. *Customization*: JButton's appearance can be customized using various methods.

# Creating a JButton
```
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class JButtonExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a new JFrame
JFrame frame = new JFrame("JButton Example");

// Create a new JButton


JButton button = new JButton("Click me!");

// Add the button to the frame


frame.add(button);

// Set the frame's size and make it visible


frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
```

# Handling JButton Events


To handle JButton events, you need to add an ActionListener to the button:
```
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

public class JButtonExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a new JFrame
JFrame frame = new JFrame("JButton Example");

// Create a new JButton


JButton button = new JButton("Click me!");

// Add an ActionListener to the button


button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("Button clicked!");
}
});

// Add the button to the frame


frame.add(button);

// Set the frame's size and make it visible


frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
```

You're referring to a JToggleButton in Java!

A JToggleButton is a GUI component that allows users to select and deselect an option. It's
similar to a checkbox, but with a button-like appearance.

Here's an overview:

# JToggleButton Features
1. _Two-state button_: JToggleButton has two states: selected and deselected.
2. _Text and icons_: JToggleButton can display text, icons, or both.
3. _Events_: JToggleButton generates events when the user clicks on it, which can be
handled using event listeners.

# Creating a JToggleButton
```
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class JToggleButtonExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a new JFrame
JFrame frame = new JFrame("JToggleButton Example");

// Create a new JToggleButton


JToggleButton button = new JToggleButton("Select me!");

// Add the button to the frame


frame.add(button);

// Set the frame's size and make it visible


frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
```

# Handling JToggleButton Events


To handle JToggleButton events, you need to add an ActionListener to the button:

```
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

public class JToggleButtonExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a new JFrame
JFrame frame = new JFrame("JToggleButton Example");

// Create a new JToggleButton


JToggleButton button = new JToggleButton("Select me!");

// Add an ActionListener to the button


button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (button.isSelected()) {
System.out.println("Button selected!");
} else {
System.out.println("Button deselected!");
}
}
});

// Add the button to the frame


frame.add(button);

// Set the frame's size and make it visible


frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
```

In this example, the ActionListener checks the state of the JToggleButton using the
`isSelected()` method and prints a message accordingly.
