Book cover The JDC is pleased to present two chapters from Graphic Java 2, Mastering the JFC: AWT, Volume 1 by David M. Geary.

About the Book

Graphic Java 2, Mastering the JFC: AWT, Volume 1 offers the most comprehensive guide to the Java Foundation Classes (JFC) available. Two volumes cover all aspects of the JFC, providing developers of Java technology with the skills needed to build professional, cross platform applications that take full advantage of the Java Foundation Classes. Graphic Java 2, Mastering the JFC: AWT, Volume 1 shows developers exactly how to make the transition from AWT to the supercharged GUI capabilities of the new JFC.

About the Chapters

Chapter 9, "The Delegation Event Model (AWT 1.1 and Beyond)." This chapter discusses the delegation event model. The 1.1 version of the AWT introduced a new delegation-based event model that is vastly improved over the original, inheritance-based model. The delegation event model supports the inheritance-based (original) event model; however, the inheritance-based model will be phased out in a future release.

Chapter 20, "Clipboard and Data Transfer." In this chapter we take a look at the fundamental concepts behind the data transfer and the clipboard, followed by examples that place data from the clipboards in some fashion.
