package divelog;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class DiveLog
{ //Opens DiveLog class
private JTabbedPane tabbedPane;
private JFrame dlframe;
public DiveLog()
{ //Opens DiveLog constructor
//Create a frame object to add the application
//GUI components to.
dlframe = new JFrame("A Java(TM) Technology Dive Log");
// Closes from title bar
//and from menu
dlframe.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
{ // Opens addWindowListener method
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e)
{ // Opens windowClosing method
System.exit(0);
} // Closes windowClosing method
}); // Closes addWindowListener method
// Tabbed pane with panels for Jcomponents
tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane(SwingConstants.LEFT);
tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.blue);
tabbedPane.setForeground(Color.white);
// Calls a method that adds individual tabs to the
//tabbedpane object.
populateTabbedPane();
//Calls the method that builds the menu
buildMenu();
dlframe.getContentPane().add(tabbedPane);
dlframe.pack();
dlframe.setSize(765, 690);
dlframe.setBackground(Color.white);
dlframe.setVisible(true);
} // Ends class constructor
private void populateTabbedPane()
{ // Opens populateTabbedPane method definition
// Create tabs with titles
tabbedPane.addTab("Welcome",
null,
new Welcome(),
"Welcome to the Dive Log");
tabbedPane.addTab("Diver Data",
