Resumen de Using Java: life after containers and layout managers: part II
In Part I of this topic, I presented a brief background on �Containers� and �Layout Management.� I also discussed the use of �Panels� and �Frames.� One motivation for this was the increased popularity of GUI-based client-side applications.
For instance, in the electronic-commerce domain the canonical n-tiered architecture often relies on a �thin� client that can be a GUI-based Java program. This does not imply that the console-based paradigm is being abandoned; it suggests that using GUI applications permits a more suitable semantic format for expressing a product�s capability. An example of this is the merging of two database queries from two different databases. In this example a user may prefer to click and drag icons to merge these queries as opposed to typing them at a console.
In this article, I will present the use of �Dialogs� and how to handle �Menus.� This will help to consolidate the information in Part I.
