JColorChooser Component in Java

Submitted by donbermoy on Thursday, May 29, 2014 - 13:19.

Today, i will teach you how to create a program that has the JColorChooser component in Java. We have ColorDialog in VB.NET and C# and this is equivalent to the JColorChooser in Java. So, now let's start this tutorial! 1. Open JCreator or NetBeans and make a java program with a file name of colorChooser.java. 2. Import java.awt.* and javax.swing.* packages because we will going to have the JColorChooser component in swing and also the JPanel as the container of this.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

3. Creates an instance of JColorChooser and set Color.RED as the default selected color and named it as jcc. This will be below in your public class colorChooser extends JFrame .

 JColorChooser jcc = new JColorChooser(Color.RED);

4. Create a constructor that is the same with the filename and create a panel out of there to hold the JColorChooser and its border.

JPanel content = new JPanel();
 content.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
 content.add(jcc, BorderLayout.CENTER);

Set window characteristics of the program. This will also add the panel and the jcolorchooser with its title and closing event.

        this.setContentPane(content);     
        this.setTitle("JColorChooser Component");
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        this.pack();

5. In your Main, create a JFrame component that will hold the panel and the JColorChooser component and all other components. This will set the visibility to True.

    public static void main(String[] args) {
         JFrame chooser = new colorChooser();
       chooser.setVisible(true);
    }

Press F5 and run the program. Output: output

Full source code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
 
public class colorChooser extends JFrame {
         JColorChooser jcc = new JColorChooser(Color.RED);
         
         
    public colorChooser() {
 
                JPanel content = new JPanel();
        content.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        
         content.add(jcc, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        
        
        this.setContentPane(content);     
        this.setTitle("JColorChooser Component");
        this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        this.pack();
    }
 
   
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         JFrame chooser = new colorChooser();
 
       chooser.setVisible(true);
    }
}
