CheckBoxGroup Example
Create the following java program using any editor of your choice in say D:/ > AWT >
com > tutorialspoint > gui >
AwtControlDemo.java
package com.tutorialspoint.gui;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class AwtControlDemo {

private Frame mainFrame;


private Label headerLabel;
private Label statusLabel;
private Panel controlPanel;

public AwtControlDemo(){
prepareGUI();
}

public static void main(String[] args){


AwtControlDemo awtControlDemo = new AwtControlDemo();
awtControlDemo.showCheckBoxGroupDemo();
}

private void prepareGUI(){


mainFrame = new Frame("Java AWT Examples");
mainFrame.setSize(400,400);
mainFrame.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
mainFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent){
System.exit(0);
}
});
headerLabel = new Label();
headerLabel.setAlignment(Label.CENTER);
statusLabel = new Label();
statusLabel.setAlignment(Label.CENTER);
statusLabel.setSize(350,100);

controlPanel = new Panel();


controlPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

mainFrame.add(headerLabel);
mainFrame.add(controlPanel);
mainFrame.add(statusLabel);
mainFrame.setVisible(true);
}

private void showCheckBoxGroupDemo(){

headerLabel.setText("Control in action: CheckBoxGroup");

CheckboxGroup fruitGroup = new CheckboxGroup();

Checkbox chkApple = new Checkbox("Apple",fruitGroup,true);


Checkbox chkMango = new Checkbox("Mango",fruitGroup,false);
Checkbox chkPeer = new Checkbox("Peer",fruitGroup,false);

statusLabel.setText("Apple Checkbox: checked");


chkApple.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
statusLabel.setText("Apple Checkbox: checked");
}
});

chkMango.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
statusLabel.setText("Mango Checkbox: checked");
}
});

chkPeer.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e) {
statusLabel.setText("Peer Checkbox: checked");
}
});

controlPanel.add(chkApple);
controlPanel.add(chkMango);
controlPanel.add(chkPeer);

mainFrame.setVisible(true);
}
}

command.
D:\AWT>javac com\tutorialspoint\gui\AwtControlDemo.java
If no error comes that means compilation is successful. Run the program using following
command.
