Frame

The Frame class provides windows for Applets and Applications. The following program illustrates  the frame.

Example:

import java.awt.*;

class frameDemo

{

Public static void main(String[] args)

{

     Frame f=new Frame(“This is my frame”);

     f.setBackground(Color.red);

     f.setSize(300,300);

     f.setVisible(true);

     System.out.println(“Return to DOS prompt and press control+c to quit”);

}

}

Explanation:

       In the above program we created a frame, and set the title as “This is my frame”. To determine the size of frame by setSize() method and set the Background color by setBackground() method. The size is 300 pixels wide and 100 pixel high. The frame invoke the setVisible() method to display the frame window.

 The frame cannot be destroyed directly. So come to DOS prompt and press control+C to quit.

The above program can be written as follows

import java.awt.*;

class myFrame extends Frame

{

myFrame()

        {

             super(“This is my frame”);

             setBackground(Color.red);

             setSize(300,300);

             setCursor(Frame.HAND_CURSOR);

             show();

        }

        public static void main(String[] args)

        {

             new myFrame();

             System.out.println(“Return to DOS prompt and press ctrl+C to quit”);

        }

}

output:
