CHAPTER 60 --- Larger GUI Applications

The GUI application of the previous chapter (which merely repeats what the user enters) is not very useful. This chapter develops two applications that are just on the fringe of being useful. Along the way, it discusses several additional topics in AWT programming.

Chapter Topics:

• Example: Temperature conversion application.
• Obtaining numeric values from TextFields.
• Writing results into TextFields.
• ActionListener for a TextField.
• Example: Calories from fat calculation.
• Using a Button with TextField input.
• Finding the right size for a frame.
