What kind of box is this in java?

Question

On the bottom of the container where it says Statistic, what kind of box is that. I am using JFrame and would like to duplicate that.

Thanks

Answer 1

It's a JPanel. It provides means for visually structuring elements into box-like containers. You can find more information on how to effectively use and style them here.

EDIT: Since you seem to be more interested in the style of the border than the name of the component being used in the example above here's a snippet using the border style on a panel.

import javax.swing.*;

public class MyPanelTestDrive{
        public static void main(String [] args){
             JFrame myFrame = new JFrame("Panel Test Drive");
             myFrame.setSize(800,600);
             JPanel myPanel = new JPanel();
             myPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Panel Title"));
             myFrame.add(myPanel);
             myFrame.setVisible(true);
        }
}

The container you're seeing is a JPanel. Followed by adding a border to it. You can add a border with text, by doing.

// panel is a JPanel
panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Title"));

You can read more about it on the Java Docs there is even a lot of examples, showing the various borders, etc.

There is even a "BorderDemo.java" you can get from the Java Docs.
