dialog is set modal in line 24 in
ColorDialog.java (Listing 38.6). If the dialog
is not modal, all the statements in the Change
Button Text Color button handler are executed
before the color is selected from the dialog
box.
38.8 JColorChooser
You created a color dialog in the preceding example as a subclass
of JDialog, which is a subclass of java.awt.Dialog (a top-level
heavy-weight component). Therefore, it cannot be added to a
container as a component. Color dialogs are commonly used in GUI
programming. Swing provides a convenient and versatile color
dialog named javax.swing.JColorChooser. JColorChooser is a
lightweight component inherited from JComponent. It can be added
to any container. For example, the following code places a
JColorChooser in an applet, as shown in Figure 38.18.
public class JColorChooserDemo extends javax.swing.JApplet {
public JColorChooserDemo() {
this.add(new javax.swing.JColorChooser());
}
}
Figure 38.18
An instance of JColorChooser is displayed in an applet; (b)
Often an instance of JColorChooser is displayed in a dialog box
using JColorChooser's static showDialog method:
public static Color showDialog(Component parentComponent,
String title,
Color initialColor)
For example, the following code displays a JColorChooser, as
shown in Figure 38.18.
Color color = JColorChooser.showDialog(this, "Choose a color",
Color.YELLOW);
