This time, I will show you how to create a simple registration form using Java AWT feature. Of course, I will make it in GUI form.

First you must know the meaning of AWT. AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) is a feature in java that provides multiple classes for creating GUI views. AWT is almost similar to SWING, it's just AWT display is simpler than SWING.

For a bit of reference too, GUI is an interface view. Its function is to facilitate the user in accessing the computer.

Now you can see the steps.

The first step is to create a file named Tes.java. Then, you can simply fill the command (syntax) into the file.

Enter the command to call the AWT java feature.

import java.awt.*;

Next is to give the name of the public class. The public class name must be the same as the java file name you created. And since you will use AWT, then in public class we have to put command to call applet feature, so you can display GUI form.

public class Tes extends java.applet.Applet

Next, enter a command to call the method. This time we use init method, because it is more suitable with the GUI application using AWT.

public void init() 
{

The next is to make layout settings, so the application will be created will appear from the left layout.

setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));

Then, enter the command add (new Label ("Name:")); to create a new label. And command add(new TextField (10)); to create a field that can be filled using text.

add(new Label("Name          :"));
add(new TextField(10));

add(new Label("Address       :"));
add(new TextField(10));
        
add(new Label("Birthday      :"));
add(new TextField(10));

Syntax below is a syntax to create an other label and a choice menu. The choise menu can be created using the command Choice gender = new Choice(); . The choice menu may contain some contents. The example is in the choice of gender.

add(new Label("Gender        :"));
Choice gender = new Choice(); 
gender.addItem("Man"); 
gender.addItem("Woman"); 
Component add = add(gender);

While the command below is a command to create a new label and a checkbox option. Checkbox options are formed using command CheckboxGroup job = new CheckboxGroup();.

add(new Label("Job            :"));
CheckboxGroup job = new CheckboxGroup();
add(new Checkbox("Student", job, false));
add(new Checkbox("Teacher", job, false));

And the syntax below serves to create buttons. In the form of Register and Exit button.

add(new Button("Register"));
add(new Button("Exit"));
}
}

Then, do not forget to create the Tes.html file. This is very useful, so that you can display the result of your application. The syntax is as follow.

<html>
<head><title>Register</title></head>
<body>
<applet code="Tes.class" width=230 height=300></applet>
</body>
</html>

And now, you can try to run its application.

Compiling process:

Registration Form result:

Final result:

Here are the full syntax.

Tes.java

import java.awt.*;
public class Tes extends java.applet.Applet 
{
    public void init() 
    {
        
        setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
        
        add(new Label("Name          :"));
        add(new TextField(10));

        add(new Label("Address       :"));
        add(new TextField(10));
        
        add(new Label("Birthday      :"));
        add(new TextField(10)); 
        

        add(new Label("Gender        :"));
        Choice gender = new Choice(); 
        gender.addItem("Man"); 
        gender.addItem("Woman"); 
        Component add = add(gender); 

        add(new Label("Job            :"));
        CheckboxGroup job = new CheckboxGroup();
        add(new Checkbox("Student", job, false));
        add(new Checkbox("Teacher", job, false));
                
        add(new Button("Register"));
        add(new Button("Exit"));
        }
}

Tes.html

<html>
<head><title>Register</title></head>
<body>
<applet code="Tes.class" width=230 height=300></applet>
</body>
</html>
