Graphical User Interface (GUI)

 A GUI (Graphical User Interface) allows users to interact with a Java application using windows,
buttons, text fields, menus, labels, etc., instead of typing commands.
 Here are the clear, simple steps to create a Graphical User Interface (GUI) in Java using
NetBeans + Swing.

Steps to Create a GUI in Java (Using NetBeans)

1. Open NetBeans

Start NetBeans → Click File → New Project

2. Crete a Java Project

Select:

 Java with Ant → Java Application


 Click Next
 Enter Project Name (Example: MyGUIApp)
 Uncheck Create Main Class (optional)
 Click Finish

3. Create a New JFrame Form

 Right-click on Source Packages →New → JFrame Form


 Give it a name, e.g. HelloForm.
 NetBeans will open the Design Window.

4. Design the GUI (Drag & Drop)

From the Palette (right side), drag components:

Common components:

 Label
 Text Field
 Button

Example layout:

Label: Enter Your Name:


TextField: txtName
Button: btnSayHello
Label: lblMessage
5. Change Component Properties

Click each component → Properties window → change:

 text
 font
 name (important!)

Example:

 TextField → Name: txtName


 Button → Name: btnSayHello
 Label → Name: lblMessage

6. Add Event: Button Click

Double-click the button → NetBeans opens code:

private void btnSayHelloActionPerformed([Link] evt) {


String name = [Link]();
String message = "Hello " + name;
[Link](message);
}

Explanation:

 name stores text entered by the user.


 message joins the text "Hello " with the user's name.
 [Link]() displays the message on the label.

7. Run the GUI Program

Click the Run (▶ Run Project) button.


Your GUI window will appear.

Example Output

If the user types: Awoke


Label shows: Hello Awoke
