Java AWT Label
Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) was Java’s first GUI framework, and it has been part of Java since version 1.0. It contains numerous classes and methods that allow you to create windows and simple controls. Controls are components that allow a user to interact with your application in various ways.
The AWT supports the following types of controls:
- Labels
- Push buttons
- Checkboxes
- Choice lists
- Lists
- Scroll bars
- Text Editing
The easiest control to use is a label. A Label is an object of type Label (class in java.awt.Component), and it contains a string, which it displays within a container. Labels are passive controls that do not support any interaction with the user. To create a label, we need to create the object of the Label class.
