AS/400 Toolbox for Java \ GUI classes

Graphical user interface classes

AS/400 Toolbox for Java provides a set of graphical user interface (GUI) classes in the vaccess package. These classes use the access classes to retrieve data and to present the data to the user.

Start changeJava programs that use the AS/400 Toolbox for Java GUI (graphical user interface) classes need Swing 1.1. You get Swing 1.1 either by running Java 2 or by downloading Swing 1.1 from Sun Microsystems, Inc.Link outside Information Center. In the past, AS/400 Toolbox for Java has required Swing 1.0.3. Modification 3 is the first release that Swing 1.1 is supported. To move to Swing 1.1, some programming changes were made; therefore, you may have to make some programming changes as well. See http://www.javasoft.com/products/jfc/index.html Link outside Information Center for more information about Swing.

For more information about the relationships between the AS/400 Toolbox for Java GUI classes, the Access classes, and Java Swing, see the Graphical user interface classes diagram.

Use the AS400 panes classes to display AS/400 data.

APIs are available to access the following AS/400 resources and their tools:

Note: AS400 panes are used with other vaccess classes (see items marked above with an asterisk) to present and allow manipulation of AS/400 resources.

When programming with the AS/400 Toolbox for Java graphical user interface components, use the Error events classes to report and handle error events to the user.

See Access classes for more information about accessing AS/400 data.
